easy-travel SIT Card

Using your SIT Card …..

To Use

• Simply ‘scan on’ when boarding the bus – ‘Scan on’ involves holding the card within 5 cm of a card reader ‘hold card over centre to scan’. Reader will scan card and deduct appropriate fare if necessary. Green light signals successful transaction
• The SIT Card is encoded with the valid travel days (am or pm or both) as nominated on the bus travel assistance application form. School travel on a day not nominated will require payment of the appropriate fare.
