Fares
All HRT buses, trolleys and ferries are equipped with electronic fareboxes. Fareboxes accept cash, coins and HRT magnetic-stripe farecards. We cannot make change so please have exact fare when boarding. Most of the farecards are discounted so they save you money. If you have any questions please call: (757) 222-6100.
