How can I pay for my bus ride?
CamTran offers a variety of options on paying for your bus ride. You can pay cash on the bus (exact fare) or purchase a bus pass ahead of time in our Bus Stop Shop. Electronic Value Passes offer a real savings and make great gifts as well. Expiration dates aren't set until the card is activated the first time it is placed in the farebox.
Our Bus Stop Shop is a convenience store that sells small food items and our buses passes. Located in our downtown Johnstown Transit Center, the Bus Stop Shop is the only location other than our offices to purchase most bus passes. The Bus Stop Shop's hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Is there a discount for students?
Yes, there are discounts for both Youth (age 7-12) and students (age 13 & up with ID). Student passes and tickets are only issued after properly showing school ID or your current college schedule indicating you are a full-time student (12 or more credits). There are no exceptions.
If your school does not issue a school, ID, contact us.
For regular student fares, see our Fare Chart.
If you are physically challenged, you may be entitled to a Reduced-Fare Transit Identification Card. This includes Medicare cardholders. Also, Check out "Our Services" to see if you qualify for our Persons with Disabilites program.
How do I get a reduced fare card?
A Medicare card is sufficient proof of disability for persons under the age of 65. If you do not have a Medicare card, a doctor or authorized agency must sign the application, verifying your disability. Once this is done, return the application to our office either by mail or in person, and we will issue a Reduced Fare Transit ID Card.
Senior citizens age 65 and older are eligible to ride any fixed route bus FREE. You can download an application in Acrobat Adobe format (pdf file). Click Here: 65+ APPLICATION. You can also call either of the CamTran or CamTran+ offices, and we will send you an application.
Simply fill out the application and send it back to us with the required proof of age, and we will send you a card. You may also visit either of our offices, fill out the application, and receive your card immediately.
Please remember that you MUST provide proof of your age in order to receive your card. Acceptable proofs of age include: Birth Certificate, Baptismal Certificate, PACE Card, Naturalization Papers, Passport, Statement from Social Security Administration, Armed Forces Discharge/Separation Papers, Pennsylvania Identification Card, Photo Motor Vehicle Operator's License, Resident Alien Card, or Veteran's Universal Access Identification Card.
Free bus rides are sponsored in part by the PA Lottery Program.
