Is there a monthly pass option? |
Yes, currently, we only offer a discounted 30-day student pass at $160. It is available to all students, providing unlimited rides on both Middlesex County Connect routes for 30 days at a reduced rate. The student pass is exclusively available for purchase through the Blaise Transit app and is valid for 30 days from the date of purchase. Download the free Blaise Transit app from the Apple Store or Google Play. Click here for more information on the County Connect App. The pass is non-refundable and cannot be canceled once purchased. A new pass can only be purchased after the current one expires. To use this pass, students must book their rides through the app and select the pass as the payment method when booking a trip. There is no requirement for students to physically print or display the pass, nor do they need to show their booked trip upon boarding the bus. However, students will need to present their valid student ID when getting on the bus. The bus driver reserves the right to deny boarding if the student ID is not presented. ***Please note that the pass will only appear as a payment option on the app if you have set up a "student" profile within the Blaise Transit App. |
