Shuttle brands

VINE manages and operates a number of deviated fixed-route or dial-a-ride bus services in other cities and towns using different brand names.
To board a VINE bus, a passenger must either present a pass, Clipper Card, transfer slip or pay a cash fare. VINE offers discount passes in 31-day and 20-ride formats. A 31-day pass offers unlimited rides for 31 consecutive days from the first day of use on regular routes ; there are two separate types of 31-day passes for Route 29. For 20-ride passes, one use is used to board a regular bus, while uses differ on Routes 29 and 21. Transfer slips are issued to passengers who pay cash fare or use punch passes. They are used to transfer from one regular route to another without the need to pay an additional fare or punch; however a transfer is not valid between Routes 10 and 11. They can be used on express buses for an additional charge. Since 2014, Clipper Cards are accepted and various 31-day passes can be loaded onto the card. If nothing is presented, a cash fare must be paid.
