Fareboxes

 

Big Things are happening at Spokane Transit

New fareboxes. More fare options.

In early December 2006 Spokane Transit replaced the fareboxes on its fixed route buses and paratransit vans with high-tech machines that will offer a wider range of fare options to customers. These changes do not include a price increase. We’re excited to offer you so many cost saving choices.
