Palm Tran announces new discount transfer fares

Effective April 3, customers using a Tri-Rail pass or transfer to board a Palm Tran bus will be subject to a new discount transfer policy, the transit authority has announced.

Customers who board the bus at a South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) station with a valid Tri-Rail pass, transfer or ticket will pay 50 cents, a discount of $1 from the regular fare. Customers boarding at any other location will be charged the regular fare.

The new transfer policy also affects customers making connections from a Broward County Transit (BCT) bus to Palm Tran. Passengers boarding Palm Tran from a BCT bus will pay a fare of 50 cents with a valid transfer from BCT.

The new transfer fare policy will affect about 600-700 customers per day.
