BT Connect Card (Physical Fare Card)
If you prefer not to use the app, you can use a BT Connect Card—a reloadable smart card that makes fare payment quick and easy. 
Cards will be available starting June 2, 2025, and the sale of current fare products, including the B-Card, will be discontinued. However, existing fare products will continue to be accepted for payment until further notice.
It is important that you create an account before obtaining the card. You can create your account online. Be sure to click on the “Sign up” button.
