Bus tickets will enable a holder to receive passage to the end of the bus line, and sometimes even back to the bus station, on a specific bus route, or to a specific destination on a given date and time.. Bus transfers are another form of bus ticket which is provided to travelers who must continue on to a connecting bus routes. Transfers are presented in place of tickets when making a connection and eliminate the need to purchase additional tickets when utilizing multiple bus lines, making it free to go from bus to bus.http://www.wmata.com/bus/transfers.cfm

Bus tickets are available through a number of sources, and the public transportation of localities and regions is run by national service providers or municipalities. Tickets can most commonly be purchased at the bus station either through a ticket kiosk, or an electronic ticket or token dispensing machine. Tickets can also be purchased from bus drivers upon boarding the bus and prior to departure. Additionally tickets are available through online ticketing agents and may involve shipping or handling charges.http://www.redbus.in/
