Bus Wrap Art Contest
Harbor Transit is turning 50 years old in 2025, and to commemorate our golden anniversary year, we want to wrap a bus with artwork from YOU, our wonderful community members!
People of all ages are invited to submit artwork for the Harbor Transit bus wrap. Two winners will be selected to have their artwork featured on a bus wrap for Harbor Transit’s 50th Anniversary year. Both contest winners will get 1 year of FREE Harbor Transit rides!
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.
