Returned Check Policy

For your convenience, we are happy to accept personal checks for the payment of fares and ticket purchases. However, if your personal check for the payment of fare or tickets is not honored or is returned by a financial institution for any reason, NET Trans will treat the situation as if you have not paid your fare. You will be obligated to pay an additional returned check fee of $10.00 for each returned check. NET Trans will require the returned check plus applicable fees to be paid with cash or prepaid with a debit /credit card before any more rides may be scheduled. After receipt of two (2) Returned Checks, fare payment will only be accepted in the form of cash, NET Trans tickets or prepaid with a debit/credit card.

 

Children Along for the Ride

Children may ride, providing the children’s transportation is in direct conjunction with the parent/guardian’s scheduled transportation service. If the primary service is for the children, then the regular fare must apply. All children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Personal Care Attendants

Clients with disabilities requiring assistance may have a care attendant ride at no charge. The escort must be picked up and dropped off at the same origination and destination points as the client.
