How It Works
As of Spring 2025, a Lebanon Transit-issued student fare card is no longer required.
Lebanon Transit customers who are attending grades K-12, an accredited college/university or trade school, qualify to receive the Student Fare. Students present their school-issued ID card when boarding the bus to receive the reduced fare of $1.00 per trip.
The student fare is good all year long, not just during school. And students may Ride On any Fixed Route bus for any purpose and at any time. There are no restrictions.
School IDs are non-transferable and can only be used by the person to whom it is issued.
Don't Have a School ID?
Lebanon Transit recognizes that there are a variety of reasons why a student may not have a school-issued ID card. In this case, a student may apply for a Lebanon Transit-issued Student Fare Card. Simply fill out the form below and upload proof of current enrollment. Or download the PDF version (also below) and return it to 200 Willow Street, Lebanon, PA 17046 along with proof of current enrollment.
Student Fare Cards are free. You will only be charged a $2.00 fee for requested replacement cards (see below).
Student Fare Cards are non-transferable and can only be used by the person to whom it is issued.
Paying Fare
Lebanon Transit is an “exact change” company. This means that you would have to pay the $1.00 fare in cash (coins or bill) by inserting into the fare box. Drivers do NOT give back change. If you overpay, you will not be issued a refund or credit for future trips.
Students may certainly pay using a bus pass, but please note that bus passes are rated at the cost of full fare, not the student fare. Currently, there is no student fare bus pass.
Student Fare Card Replacement
To receive a replacement Lebanon Transit Student Fare Card you must:
- Notify Lebanon Transit by phone (717-274-3664) or in person when card is misplaced or lost. There is a two (2) week waiting period before you can receive a replacement card. During this waiting period, you will not be eligible for the discounted Student Fare.
- A $2 replacement fee will be charged.
