LYNX® Paw Pass

The LYNX® Paw Pass mobile application, powered by Genfare, along with the upgraded farebox system, is now available for download.

Whether you’re purchasing a Single-Ride, All-Day pass, 7-Day pass, or 30-Day pass, you can easily buy and store it on your mobile device. Simply activate your ticket when you're ready to use it, and scan the barcode on the glass window on the farebox. No need to choose your Link in the new app!

The LYNX® Paw Pass app offers helpful features like trip planning and real-time bus arrival times for your stop. Look up your stop under "Routes" and click the heart and save it as a favorite to put it at the top of the list under "Real Time Arrivals".

To pay your fare, simply scan the QR code on the app at the farebox scanner—no need for operators to manually validate mobile tickets anymore. If you’re using a reduced fare, don’t forget to show your LYNX-issued ID.
