Transfer Information

You may transfer to different routes and different transit systems. 
Here is information about transferring on MAX.

You may need to transfer to another bus when you make a trip on MAX. Transferring is not difficult, and transfers between routes are FREE when traveling continuously in the same direction without stopping except to transfer to a different route. The driver will accept your transfer ticket if the bus you are transferring to is the first possible bus on that route that you can board after exiting the bus from which you transferred. You may not re-board the same route using a transfer. You must pay another fare to ride if you do not board the first possible bus on the route to which you are transferring.

A transfer fee of 25 cents is available for those passengers desiring to transfer from MAX and Stanislaus Regional Transit (StaRT), Ceres Area Transit (CAT), Ceres Dial-A-Ride, or eTrans (Escalon).

Let your driver know if you want such a transfer. You must request your transfer when you pay your fare or purchase your day pass.
