02 / Decide

Choose for the way you will actually travel.

A pass is not automatically the best value. BuzzTransit compares short stays, heavy transit use, occasional rides and family travel without a fake fare calculator.

Short stay

Simple payment may beat buying a separate pass.

Heavy transit use

A cap or multi-day product may be worth comparing.

Occasional rides

Pay-as-you-go may keep the decision simple.

Families

Child fares, sharing rules and group economics matter.
