ATTENTION STUDENTS: LET BLUEGO BE YOUR SUMMER WHEELS

Lake Tahoe, Stateline , NV – Summer youth passes are now available good for unlimited rides on all BlueGO bus routes from June 1 through August 31.
The pass is for youths five to 17 years old who possess a valid student identification. The price is $45.
“By offering a pass that is good for the entire summer break, we are making it possible for young people to explore the South Shore with a reliable and safe ride,” BlueGO Transit Administrator John Andoh said. “We want to see more young people on the bus because we know they will be more likely to stick with public transportation when they become adults.”
The normal youth fare is $1 per ride, and a discount pack of ten bus tokens costs $8. A discount monthly pass costs $35.
