It features a contactless "tap" card and a mobile app, making it a convenient and money-saving way to pay your fare.</p> <p>Get your Ventra Card (or add transit value or a multi-day pass) online, at a vending machine, or at hundreds of regional retailers. Tap your Ventra Card on the Ventra reader at the front of the bus as you board. A new Card costs $5.00, and that one-time Card purchase fee is immediately refunded as transit value upon account registration.</p> <p>Manage your Ventra account online account and get protection against lost/stolen Ventra Card with registration of your Card.</p> <h2>Other Pace Services</h2> <p>In addition to the traditional fixed bus routes, Pace operates several other services that exist in places where no fixed route exists or meet individual riders' needs. For instance, Pace's vanpool services are usually for groups of coworkers traveling to work together on a daily basis. Other reservation-based services linked below are for local trips whose origins and destinations vary from day to day. Eligibility, fare, and geographic areas served are different for each of those services. Click the buttons to find out more!
