It’s that simple!
All of our buses have fare boxes. If you would like to purchase bus tickets (instead of paying the fare every time you get on the bus), our bus drivers have tickets they can sell you. The tickets are in books of ten. You can also purchase unlimited monthly passes that you can obtain from your driver. To purchase a book of tickets or monthly pass from a driver, you must pay with cash or check. Drivers do not carry change.
Individuals: Books of one-way tickets or unlimited monthly passes may be purchased from a bus driver with cash or check. Books of 10 one-way tickets can also be ordered with a credit or debit card by contacting Melinda Nelson. She can be reached at 218-735-6851 or melinda.nelson@aeoa.org.
Organizations: May request an order form by contacting Jennifer Tarr at jennifer.tarr@aeoa.org. These orders may be invoiced.
Prices for tickets and passes can be found by clicking on your county under the bus schedules tab.
