Notice of Electronic Payment Fee

Beginning on October 1, 2024, Harbor Transit riders purchasing ride credits with a credit/debit card will incur a small fee charged by a third party electronic payment processing company.

Currently, riders can purchase ride credits with a credit or debit card through the Lakeshore Go app, through Harbor Transit’s website at www.harbortransit.org/fares, or in person at our facility with a card, cash, or check. A fee is charged for each electronic payment transaction, and will be charged automatically. Riders do not have to perform any additional actions when purchasing ride credits. 

The fees are as follows:

  • In-Person Payment with a Credit/Debit card = 2.6% + $0.10 fee per transaction
  • Online Payment or Lakeshore Go Payment with a Credit/Debit card = 2.9% + $0.30 fee per transaction 

The good news is, there are several ways that riders can reduce electronic payment fee charges:

  • Purchase a Monthly Pass if you are a frequent rider.
  • Purchase a “Bundle” of ride credits (they come in the amounts of $9, $18, or $27), or purchase your ride credits in bulk for any other amount of your choosing. 
  • Pay with cash or a check at our facility at 440 N Ferry Street to avoid incurring any fees at all. Your ride to and from Harbor Transit to add ride credits to your account will be free.

For convenience. For cost savings.
