Farebox: 
If you have a fare card, hold it as shown and move the card through
the reader.
If you don't have a fare card or token,
be prepared with a $1.00 bill or 4 quarters for each time you get
on. The driver cannot make change. Students and registered Seniors
(62 years or older) and disabled persons pay 50 cents - 1/2 the cost
of the regular fare.
|
|
Transfers: (May I have a transfer?) 
Note: If you use more than one bus to reach
your destination, ask the driver for a transfer when you board the bus.
The farebox will print a transfer card for you to take. At that point,
you will have up to 2 hours to make 2 free transfers. (The expiration
time is printed on your transfer card.) Simply insert the card in the
farebox slot shown above within that 2-hour time period when boarding.
Insert your transfer ticket in the farebox slot of your next bus when
boarding.

Thousands of residents use bicycles to travel
in the Greater Lansing area. CATA has installed bike racks on our fixed-route
buses to make intermodal commuting easier. If your bike is on the bike
rack, please tell the driver you will be taking it off just before you
exit the bus.

There are Bike
Lockers 
located in East Lansing, Lansing Community College, and near Cooley Law
School and Davenport College. |

exit at the rear door.
For your safety, wait until the bus passes
before crossing the street.

God's Truth: Jesus - Example for Life
|
| 1. In many ways the family of
Jesus saw that Jesus was very special: |
2. Not only was Jesus an example
in growing mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually, He provided
an example for us in every way. Once Jesus told his followers, |
|
* The visit of the angel
Gabriel with Mary, telling her about the Baby Jesus
* The singing angels in the sky, telling the shepherds about Baby Jesus
* The visit of the shepherds to worship the Baby Jesus
* The visit of Jesus with the teachers in the temple
|
"I have set the example,
and you should do for each other exactly what I have done for you."
(John 13:15, CEV)
|

"God will
bless you, if you have to suffer for doing something good. After all,
God chose you to suffer as you follow in the footsteps of Christ, who
set an example by suffering for you. Christ did not sin or ever tell a
lie. Although he was abused, he never tried to get even. And when he suffered,
he made no threats. Instead, he had faith in God, who judges fairly. Christ
carried the burden of our sins. He was nailed to the cross, so that we
would stop sinning and start living right. By his cuts and bruises you
are healed." (I Pet. 2:20b-24, CEV) |
