TouchPass Card

New Bus Ticket Technology

Greenlink has launched a new electronic ticketing system called TouchPass that allows customers to pay their bus fare using a reloadable smart card or a smartphone app. TouchPass simplifies the boarding process as Greenlink passengers no longer need to have cash or coins on hand, worry about lost transfer tickets or search for their 20-ride punch pass.
 
As an added benefit, customers can freeze their account if they lose their TouchPass card and then transfer their account balance to a new card. Customers can also utilize an autoload feature to replenish their account whenever it drops below a certain balance.
 
Greenlink customers can download the TouchPass app by searching for “TouchPass Transit” in the iOS or Android app store. Customers who would prefer the reloadable smart card can pick one up at the dispatch booth inside the Transit Center at 100 W McBee Ave. Balances can be loaded onto customer accounts by visiting www.TouchPass.com and paying with a credit or debit card, or by visiting the dispatch booth and purchasing fares using cash, credit or debit cards.

Learn to Navigate the Greenlink System

Greenlink offers new customers the opportunity to familiarize themselves with its vehicles and boarding procedures in a controlled, relaxed environment prior to their first time riding the bus. Because vehicles used for passenger orientation sessions are not actively in service, they also allow ample time for passengers with disabilities to get acquainted with the vehicle features designed to assist and protect them.
 
The orientation session lasts approximately one hour and covers:

  • How to plan a bus trip
  • How to board and pay the fare
  • How to ride and signal a stop request
  • How to load and unload a bicycle on the bicycle rack

The passenger orientation is provided on an individual basis by request. To schedule an orientation session, please call 864-298-2756 or send an e-mail to nmcaden@greenvillesc.gov
