Fares

Culver CityBus, along with Santa Monica Big Blue Bus, participate in BruinGo. BruinGo is a system in place where UCLA students and staff can swipe their university ID, called a BruinCard, on the farebox so that the university pays a part of the fare.

Culver CityBus offers a regional transit monthly pass called the EZ transit pass. It is available for use of unlimited travel on the surrounding transit systems. Valid Metrolink tickets or passes will be accepted for unlimited local travel by every participating carrier, except Santa Monica Big Blue Bus.[2]
