Your Phone Is Now Your Bus Pass!
The Token Transit app allows Tricounty Link customers to purchase bus passes with their smartphones, which can then be used as electronic tickets to board buses. Customers will need to download the Token Transit App to use the mobile pay option.
To ride, the customer simply shows their phone to the driver as they board the bus instead of sticking a pass or cash into the farebox.
How It Works
Download “Token Transit” from the Google Play Store (Android) or the Apple App Store (iPhone).

2. Purchase
3. Activate
When you are ready to ride, tap your pass to activate. All passes are stored in your Token Transit account.
4. Validate
As you board the bus, simply show your ticket to the Operator.
Helpful Tips
- At this time, the Token Transit app must be downloaded to utilize the mobile pay services.
- Passes and tickets are not date specific and are non-directional. Trips are counted at the time of activation.
- Be sure to load your pass on your smartphone prior to the bus approaching and/or boarding Tricounty Link.
- Wait until the bus approaches the stop before activating your pass. Do NOT activate until you are ready to board the bus.
- Digital passes expire 60 minutes after activation. The time allotted to use your pass includes your (1) free transfer. You must use your transfer within time allotted.
- A paper pass is still required when transferring to or from CARTA.
- Anyone can purchase specialty passes including ADA service tickets. However, to use those specialty passes customers are still required to have predetermined eligibility and/or required to show a current ID to board the bus.
- Should you experience any technical issues with the app, please contact Token Transit, at help@tokentransit.com. Tricounty Link customer service can be reached at 843-899-4096.
