Can I use my Lynx stored value pass on any of WestCAT’s routes?
No. Currently the Lynx stored value pass can only be accepted on Lynx buses. When taking another WestCAT route to transfer to a Lynx the full cash fare must be paid upon boarding and then a transfer may be requested. With the valid transfer, an additional $3.25 must be paid on the Lynx for the outbound trip ($1.25 for Senior/Disabled customers). Currently, this amount cannot be deducted from the stored value card on the local or express buses. Therefore, a cash fare is still required for the outbound trip. However, on the return trip a Lynx customer who has used his/her stored value pass may request a transfer to a local/express route at no additional charge. Eventually, all of WestCAT’s routes will have the capability of accepting stored value cards, but the equipment is currently not available due to funding constraints.
