Go CT Card

TRIP CHECK

Go CT Card

The Go CT Card calculates the lowest fare, capping your rides at daily, weekly, and monthly rates for the best price. The Go CT Card provides the same discounts you would receive with a pass, but the card and funds on it never expire. That gives you the flexibility of cash and coins and the benefits of a multi-day pass without having to worry about rides going unused

  • Manage Your Go CT Card: Download the Go CT Card Mobile App to manage your account and use your phone at the farebox. Available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. You can also manage your card via our website
  • Purchase Your Go CT Card: Buy your Go CT Card for $2 through our online store, at our sales outlets, or at our network of retailers
  • Use Your Go CT Card: After you receive your card and load money onto your account, you will be able to use the Go CT Card to pay your fare on CTtransit and CTfastrak buses. A minimum of $10 must be loaded onto your account to begin using the card
  • See How Fare Capping Works: Fare Capping automatically finds the best price so you never overpay, unlocking pass-like savings and exclusive discounts

Notes for Integration

Fare Capping automatically finds the best price so you never overpay

Please note, customers eligible for reduced fares (senior or disabled) must complete the CT Reduced Fare Photo ID application process
