How the Multi-Ride ticket work:  Travel that rivals the full cost of driving your personal car!

One-way travel between each zone requires one zone or "Bobcat paw" to be removed from the 20-zone multi-ride card.  Zones are defined as being between: 

• North Austin, (Highland Mall or Greyhound) to central Austin;
• Central Austin to Kyle;
• Kyle to San Marcos;
• San Marcos to New Braunfels; and,
• New Braunfels to San Antonio

As an example:  Travel between South Austin, (Southpark Meadows) to any stop in San Marcos would cross two zones and require two "paws" or zones to be punched from your 20-zone card.  Given the cost of a 20-zone card is $50 for Texas State I.D. holders; the multi-ride ticket cost of this trip would be $5.00 one-way vs. an $8.00 cash fare.

The multi-ride cards will be good through August 23, 2013.
