Local Route, Park-n-Ride, & Rides on Demand – Download the EZfare App

Laketran encourages all Local Route, Park-n-Ride & Rides on Demand customers to download the EZfare app for a cashless and convenient way to pay your fare. Laketran installed onboard validators for you to simply “tap and go” when paying your fare with your smartphone. EZfare can be downloaded from the Apple Store or Google Play.

Always Pay the Lowest Fare with Tap & Ride

When you use EZfare’s Tap & Ride feature, fare capping is automatically applied. This guarantees you are always paying the lowest possible fare. As you ride throughout the day or month, EZfare tracks your trips and caps your fare so you never pay more than the cost of an All-Day Pass or a 31-Day Pass. There is no need to purchase a pass upfront. Simply tap and ride with confidence.

No Phone or App? No Problem.

Customers without a smartphone or who prefer not to use an app still have convenient options. You can purchase bus passes or EZfare smartcards using cash at Laketran Transit Vending Machines located at:

• Frank J. Polivka Transit Center at Lakeland Community College
• Painesville Transfer Center
• Wickliffe Park-n-Ride
• Mentor Park-n-Ride

Partner Apps – Do you already have an account with apps Transit, Moovit or Uber?  You can now plan and pay for your Laketran trip in any of these apps, too.  These apps also provide real-time arrival information along with helpful transit tools.

We hope you’ll considering using EZfare or one of our partner apps to pay your fare.

Dial-a-Ride & Rides on Demand – Use Request-a-Ride 

Dial-a-Ride and Rides on Demand are prepaid services. For Dial-a-Ride, there is no fare box or validator onboard the buses. Fare payment will be taken when you schedule a reservation by phone or online with Request-a-Ride.
