Frequently Asked Questions

 

• Please check your Paradise Pass upon purchasing.
• Palm Tran and its agents assume no responsibility for lost, stolen or damaged cards. If you registered your Paradise Pass card and lose it, the value can be transferred to a new card. 
• Cards are non-redeemable and non-refundable.
• Damaged passes deemed unreadable are NO LONGER valid, and will not be replaced.
• Cash and Paradise Pass rates are subject to change.

Can I still pay cash on the bus?

Yes, you can still pay with exact fare. Please note, the new fare boxes will not issue change or offer credit. You can only pay for one trip. If you need a daily pass, please purchase one at a Paradise Pass Kiosk. No pennies, 50 cent pieces nor bills higher than $2 will be accepted.

How do I register my account? Should I register my card online?
How do I check the balance of my Paradise Pass reloadable card?

Online at MyParadisePass.com is your quickest option. Once you’ve set up an account go to the “Paradise Pass Purchase and Manage” menu. Paradise Pass must be registered to check balances and ridership history online.

What do I do if my reloadable card is lost or stolen?

If you have registered your card on MyParadisePass.com, you can report it lost or stolen by speaking with Customer Service at 561-841-4BUS (4287) or in-person at the Palm Tran office at 50 S. Military Trail. The customer service representative will be able to “badlist” the lost card and activate a replacement card. The remaining balance from your lost card will be transferred to your new card. Your card is reusable, reloadable, and never expires.

If you have not registered your Paradise Pass, we have no way of deactivating your old card or replacing your money. In addition, if you do not register your card, you will not be eligible for best fare.

If you have both the mobile APP and a registered Paradise Pass card, can you use both throughout the day?

We recommend using either the card OR the mobile app – but NOT BOTH. Why? Best fare, or fare capping – the feature that makes sure you do not pay more than you need to – works best when you use the same device, card OR mobile app, for all your rides. If you use both the card AND the app, best fare will not be tracked and you may end up paying more than you need to, because best fare can only be tracked on a single device.

 

Will my current Quik Pass and Fare Cards work with the new system?

Quik Passes will still be available for purchase at the Intermodal Transit Center, County Libraries and the Connection office. There will be a 30-day notice before the passes are discontinued. 

How do I purchase and use a reduced fare pass (Senior/Disabled and Child/Student)?

You can buy a reduced fare pass at a Palm Tran Kiosk, County Library, Intermodal Transit Center and Palm Tran 50 S. Military office with proof of eligibility at time of purchase or boarding. The process of purchasing a mobile pass is the same regardless of pass type or rider type. Passengers riding for a half fare or using a reduced fare pass must be able to present identification when boarding the bus.

How do transfers to Broward County Transit and Tri-Rail work with Paradise Pass?

Transfers will work the same as they do today.

How do I change/correct my User ID/Email or change my password for the mobile app?

On the APP, go to settings and select the appropriate option.

What happens if my phone is lost, stolen or I replace it?

If your mobile phone is lost/stolen/replaced, once you have your new phone, you can sign in to your account with your User ID (email) and password. If you have active or non-active passes and do not see them, please delete and reinstall the APP. If your passes are still not shown, please contact Customer Service at 561-841-4BUS {4287} for assistance importing your passes to your phone.

Are there any ways for me to see my riding and purchasing history?
Once you register your Paradise Pass at www.myparadisepass.com, you will be given access to card management tools and reports. These tools will help you to track your card usage in terms of trip details, order details and balance management.
Is there a minimum amount I have to spend when purchasing passes or reloading my Paradise Pass through the portal?

There is a $5.00 minimum order to make a purchase through the online portal.
