How can a customer with a full fare Ventra card pay a reduced fare on a bus?

A customer with a full fare Ventra card can pay a reduced fare on a bus by using the designated function on the fare payment system—specifically by pressing the #1 key. This action indicates to the system that the customer is eligible for a reduced fare, typically available for seniors, students, or individuals with disabilities, even though their card is initially set for full fare transactions.

Understanding the context of the fare payment process is essential. The system is designed to differentiate between full fare payments and reduced fares to ensure that customers receive the appropriate fare based on their eligibility. The presence of multiple keys allows for various fare types or functions, but the #1 key is the specific method for accessing a reduced fare for those who have a full fare card.
