How the Multi-Ride ticket work: Travel that rivals the full cost of driving your personal car!
- One-way travel between
- One way travel between Austin and Kyle; Kyle and San Marcos; San Marcos and New Braunfels; or New Braunfels and San Antonio requires one crescent punch per trip; two crescent punches are made to “void” or use each bobcat head.
These cards do not have an expiration date, but will only retain their full value through the end of the 2011 calendar year. After that, these cards may still be used, but they will be treated the same as the new cards described below, (each punch will represent one travel zone).
| New Tickets: The new 20-punch card, (comprised of 20 bobcat paws), will take the place of the current 10-punch card. We will begin distributing these new punch cards to HEB and on campus as soon as we deplete our stock of 2011 cards – they will cost the same as our current cards, ($40 for Texas State I.D. holders and $45 for the general public). Each punch will correspond to a zone of bus service. Drivers currently punch ½ of a hole for each zone; that will change with the new punch cards so that a complete punch will be used for each zone. |  |
Effective in August of 2011, the zones boundaries are:
· Randolph Park and Ride to New Braunfels
· New Braunfels to San Marcos
· San Marcos to Kyle
· Kyle to Waterloo Park (Austin)
· Waterloo Park to Highland Mall (Austin)
Example: (someone boarding in Kyle and traveling to Highland Mall would have two holes punched for traveling through two service zones)
Example 2: someone boarding in San Marcos and traveling to Highland Mall would have three zones punched to travel to Highland Mall.
