How to apply for Broward County Transit Senior Reduced Fare

Who it's for

Broward County Transit (BCT) offers a reduced fare for riders age 65 and older — currently $1.00 per single ride versus the standard adult fare — on every BCT fixed-route bus and the Breeze rapid service. Unlike Miami-Dade's Golden Passport, Broward does not waive the senior fare entirely; the reduced rate is available with either a BCT Reduced Fare Photo I.D. Card or any other acceptable government-issued ID showing proof of age. The Reduced Fare Photo I.D. Card is free and is the easiest way to prove eligibility on the bus. Photos for the card are taken in person at the Broward Central Terminal (101 NW 1st Avenue, Fort Lauderdale) or the Lauderhill Transit Center (1359 NW 40th Ave), Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (closed for lunch 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.). Discounted monthly and 31-day passes are also available at the senior fare rate.

What you'll need

• Proof of age (Florida driver's license, Florida ID, U.S. passport, Medicare card, or birth certificate)
• In-person visit to Broward Central Terminal (101 NW 1st Ave, Fort Lauderdale) or Lauderhill Transit Center (1359 NW 40th Ave) for the free Reduced Fare Photo I.D. Card — optional if presenting other acceptable ID at boarding
