So that everyone is speaking the same language, here are a few terms and what they mean:

BUY - Purchase a pass that is now available under "Stored Passes."

ACTIVATE - Opening and confirming you want to use a stored pass. Once you confirm you want to use a pass, it has now been activated. Once activated, a ride pass is valid for 30 minutes, while a 30-day pass is valid for 30-days.
It takes about 10-15 seconds to verify you pass, so please activate it BEFORE stepping on the bus. As soon as you see the bus approaching your stop we recommend activating it at that time.

VALIDATE - Upon boarding the bus, hold your phone, with the activated pass, next to the TT beacon on the farebox. When it beeps and the screen changes color, the pass has now been activated and you are good to go.

BEACON - The little white box with a blue TT label (about the size of a deck of cards), on the farebox. The beacon is what you hold your phone next to, to validate it.

TIMEOUT - Once a 30-day (or same-day) pass is validated on a bus, there is a 10-minute window before the pass can be used again.
