So, You Wanna Ride the Fresno Funky Bus? How Much That Gonna Set You Back?
Fresno's bus system, fondly (or maybe not so fondly) nicknamed the "Fresno Funky Bus" by some, is a great way to get around the city. But before you hop on board and whip out your air guitar to impress your fellow passengers (please, for the love of all things decent, don't do that), you might be wondering: how much does this magical mystery tour cost?
The Fare Deal: It Depends on Your Groove
Fresno's bus fares are like a choose-your-own-adventure novel, with a twist of funky fresh discounts! Buckle up, because here's the breakdown:
- The Regular Rider: You, my friend, are shelling out $1.00 for a single ride. That's a buck, a dollar, a crisp Hamilton to cruise the Fresno streets. Hey, it's cheaper than a gallon of gas these days!
- The Silver Fox (or Foxy Lady): Are you a majestic senior citizen over 65? Or maybe a dazzling Medicare card holder? Well, you lucky ducks get to ride for free! Just show your ID and prepare to boogie on down (responsibly, of course). We wouldn't want any injuries during your free ride!
- The Young Gun (or Lil' Sprout): Are you a tiny human 12 years old or younger? You and your adorable self get to ride for free too! Just make sure you're accompanied by a grown-up so you don't get lost in the jungle of Fresno (it's not a real jungle, but hey, gotta keep the kids on their toes).
- The Salute Squad: Are you a brave soldier defending our freedom? Active military and veterans (with ID) also get to ride for free! Thank you for your service, and here's a free ride on the Fresno Funky Bus as a token of our appreciation.
But Wait, There's More!
Fresno offers monthly passes for those who are frequent flyers (or riders, I guess). Check the FAX website (Fresno Area Express - that's the official name, how funky is that?) for more info on those.
