The first thing you will notice is the passenger display panel. Here you can view the details of your transaction. There’s a slot for coins, a slot for bills, a slot where you’ll insert your DART Pass for the first use and a reader where you’ll swipe the Daily Pass.

When using coins, please drop them in one at a time to avoid a jam.
