STAR Transit riders can now purchase monthly and day passes for the fixed-route system and STARNow thanks to the agency joining the GoPass app network.
Single ride passes are also available.
“Convenience and affordability are important criteria in how we serve our customers,” said Tommy Henricks, STAR Transit executive director. “The GoPass app is an easy, cashless way to purchase passes.”
The app allows users to plan a trip, pay for the pass and store until ready for use.
Henricks continued, “Riders can securely store a debit and credit card in the app for faster purchases. Riders can choose from a single ride pass, day pass or 31-day pass.”
A 31-day pass for fixed routes is $48, a day pass is $3 while the single ride ticket stays $1. Fixed route trips are free for seniors 60+, veterans and/or disabled riders with a STAR Transit reduced fare ID. Children under 12 also ride free with a fare paying adult.
STAR Transit fixed routes serve Mesquite, Balch Springs, Seagoville, Hutchins and DeSoto in the North Central Texas region.
On STARNow, a 31-day pass is $48. $24 for seniors 60+, veterans and/or disabled riders with a STAR Transit reduced fare ID, a day pass is $3/$1.50 while a single ride pass remains $2 and $1. Children under 12 ride free with a fare paying adult.
“We are in the unique position of partnering with DART in many ways,” Henricks said. “This is significant for workers who are commuting to their jobs on a regular basis, and we are proud to be contributing to our region’s mobility.”
GoPass is not available for demand-response rides. The app is free on the App Store and Google Play.
