Countywide Transfers
Ventura County transit operators offer transfers between two buses traveling in a single direction.
While most transfers are free, transfers to VCTC Coastal Express or Conejo Connection are $1.50. Transfers to Camarillo Dial-A-Ride are $1.00. Transfers to Valley Express are $0.50. All applicable fees are payable upon boarding your second bus with your transfer.
To use a transfer, follow these steps:
1. Upon boarding the first bus, ask the driver for a transfer. (You will not be able to get a transfer when you exit the bus.)
2. Exit the bus at your transfer point and wait for your second bus. Transfer is valid for 90 minutes from the time it is issued.
3. When your second bus arrives, insert your transfer into the farebox along with any applicable fees.
Transfers may not be used for stopovers and cannot be used for a return trip.
You must transfer at the first point of contact with the route you want to transfer to.
Transfers must be kept in a clean, presentable condition.
You may not sell, trade, exchange, give away, or offer for passage a transfer in violation of the rules of VCTC.
In case of dispute, you are required to pay the full fare and notify the Regional Transit Information Center at 800.438.1112 or send us a message.
