Your Free Student Bus Pass is now a specially designed SmarTrip Card!

Beginning with the 2018-2019 School Year, students who sign up for a free Student Bus Pass will receive a specially designed SmarTrip Card instead of a flash pass. Here’s what you need to know:

  • The Student Bus Pass SmarTrip card can ONLY be used on Fairfax Connector and City of Fairfax CUE
  • When you board the bus simply tap the card on the farebox and go!
  • If you wish to use Metrobus, Metrorail or any other transit system that accepts SmarTrip you will need a standard SmarTrip card

Keep in mind, the card CAN NOT:

  • Be used on Metrorail or Metrobus
  • Carry any cash value. You can’t add money to it like a regular SmarTrip card.

Tips for Riding Fairfax Connector and City of Fairfax CUE

  • Using a SmarTrip Card on a Fare BoxHave your student pass out and ready to tap the farecard machine when you board the bus. The driver may ask you to show your card.
  • Your Student Pass SmarTrip card will work on Fairfax Connector and City of Fairfax CUE buses.
  • If you switch to Metrorail, Metrobus or any other bus system you will need cash or a standard SmarTrip® card.
  • Your pass works from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., 7 days a week, all year. Other times you will need cash or a standard SmarTrip® card.
  • Give respect to get respect. It’s important to be kind to other riders, especially those with special needs. There are seats designed just for them so try to avoid sitting there.
  • If you get lost or turned around, the Fairfax Connector and CUE drivers are great! Just tell them you need help and they will help you.
  • Your pass lasts until you graduate, or leave school. You don't need a new pass unless yours is lost, damaged, or no longer works.
  • If you lose your pass report and replace it! Don't let someone get a free ride using YOUR pass.
  • Be gentle with your pass. Don't bend or punch a hole in your card, otherwise the technology inside of it will no longer work.
