Riding the HRT bus in Hampton Roads is an affordable and convenient way to get around. Fares vary depending on the type of bus service, payment method, and passenger eligibility for reduced fares.
The standard adult fare for riding a local HRT bus is $1.75 per ride. However, discounts are available if you pay with a 7-Day Pass, 15-Day Pass, or monthly pass. A 7-Day Pass costs $18 and allows unlimited rides for 7 consecutive days. A 15-Day Pass is $27 and is valid for 15 consecutive days. Monthly passes provide unlimited rides all month long and cost $60 for a Basic pass or $75 for a Premium pass, which also includes ferry and light rail service.
Children ages 6-18 pay a reduced youth fare of $0.85 per ride. Kids under 6 ride for free when accompanied by a fare-paying rider. Senior citizens age 65 and people with disabilities can ride for just $0.85 with a reduced fare ID card.
You can pay bus fares with cash (exact change only) or a reloadable GoPass smart card. The GoPass card makes paying easy - just tap it on the farebox when boarding. Fares are automatically deducted from the card balance, which can be reloaded online or at various sales outlets. A new GoPass card costs $2, but that fee is waived if you load at least $5 on the card when purchasing it.
In addition to regular routes, HRT offers express routes that provide nonstop service for a slightly higher fare. Express routes cost 50 cents more than the regular fare.
HRT also operates the VB Wave, a shuttle service that serves the Virginia Beach oceanfront resort area. The VB Wave costs just $1 per ride, with day passes available for $3.
