Transfer Information and more...
Bus Transfer Information

- Transfers will be honored only on the day issued and are valid on any Wheels fixed route bus within two (2) hours after boarding.
- Wheels accepts County Connection transfers with no additional fare.
- BART transfers require an additional $1.00 fare.
- No transfers to the BART system.
- Transfers are void if improperly used.

In
case of any questions about the transfers, PLEASE PAY FARE and present the questionable transfer to the Wheels Office at 1362 Rutan Court in Livermore. Give them the operator's name, line, coach number and
date/time.
Commuter Check
Commuter Check is a convenient
way for businesses to subsidize their employees' commute to work by public transit
and van pooling. Employers purchase Commuter Check vouchers and give them
to employees, who can apply their value toward the purchase of monthly transit
passes or tokens for most Bay Area transit systems, as well as toward monthly
vanpool fares. For more information on this program, check out our Commuter
Check page or go to the Commuter Check website at www.commutercheck.com.
Commuter Choice
The Commuter Choice Tax Benefits program is a valuable addition to any benefits package. Unlike employee benefits such as health care or vacation plans employees can use the
Commuter Choice Tax Benefit every day. For complete information, download the following Adobe PDF file produced by the Tri-Valley Resource Team:
Riders With
Disabilities
Disabled Monthly Passes are available at various locations, including the Wheels Administrative Office and the Transit Center – see the Ticket Outlets page for a list of locations. They may also be ordered by mail, using the Ticket Order Form.
Passengers with a Regional
Transit Connection Discount Card or Medicare Card are eligible for reduced
fare. Passengers must show their card to the bus operator when boarding
the coach. For more information on the RTC Discount Card Program,
go to our RTC Discount Card Page.
