Student Basics

How Students ride with LBT

Start by finding the right bus pass for you and follow the steps to make riding the bus easy and safe.

Step 1: Pass Options

Students at participating LBUSD and LBCC schools can get their FREE GoPass TAP Card. For students at non-participating schools, reduced fare student passes are available. And if you go to CSULB, you can pick up a Go Beach! Pass to save.
