How to apply for Fresno Area Express (FAX) Senior Reduced Fare

Who it's for

Fresno Area Express (FAX) is the City of Fresno's public bus system, serving Fresno and Clovis. Riders 65 or older qualify for the Reduced Fare program.

What you'll need

• Proof of age 65+ (California driver's license, state ID card, or other government-issued photo ID showing date of birth)
