Tucson residents will be able to use the 3-day pass on Sun Link and Sun Tran bus routes to travel more frequently and to more destinations. This pass is offered as an alternative to the 1-day and 30-day pass options.

"The 3-Day Pass will be great for tourists and conference goers, as well as locals who might enjoy a staycation in the greater downtown core," said Jane McCollum, General Manager of Main Gate Square, in the news release.

After the 6-month pilot program ends, officials will determine if the pass will be integrated into the public transportation fare structure on a long-term basis.
