One-Half Fare Program

Individuals who qualify for Wichita Transit's One-Half Fare Program are entitled to ride regular fixed route buses for one-half the regular adult fare. A special One-Half Fare ID card will be issued to eligible individuals who have qualified for the service by completing the application form. Wichita Transit's ID card is required and must be shown when boarding the bus in order to receive reduced fare privileges. Medicare cards are not verification of eligibility.

Who is Eligible?

The One-Half Fare Program is available for those individuals who are 65 years of age or older, for individuals who are Medicare card recipients, or for those who have a physical or mental disability that is verified by a licensed physician.

How do I Qualify?

  1. Fill out the One-Half Fare Program Application.

    Persons 65 years of age or older and/or Medicare card holders must fill out and sign Part I of the application form. Persons with disabilities who are not 65 years of age or older and do not have a Medicare card, must complete and sign Part I, and must also have a licensed physician fill out and sign Part II.

  2. Bring the completed and signed application form and all other supporting documents (including a photo ID, a drivers license, Kansas ID, or birth certificate) to the downtown Transit Center at 214 South Topeka, Wichita, between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. The application will be processed, and your eligibility will be determined. Upon acceptance into the program, you will be issued a One-Half Fare ID card.

Card Replacement

There is no charge for the original ID card. If your card is lost or stolen, please notify Transit Services immediately by calling (316) 337-9475. Replacement ID's will be issued at a cost of $2.00 per card. Cards used improperly will be confiscated and privileges will be revoked.

If you have any questions about the One-Half Fare Program, please call 337-9475 between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
