The GoPass Program helps students ride transit without the worry of paying fare. With a registered GoPass TAP card, students attending schools in the Montebello Unified School District can ride Metro and other participating systems to and from school, and for trips after school and on weekends.
Montebello Bus Lines is part of the Los Angeles County Municipal Operators’ TAP (Transit Access Pass) program. TAP is a reusable, reloadable smart card that lets you pay your fare quickly and securely by simply tapping your card on the farebox when you board.
You can load stored value (cash) or a fare product (such as a Montebello Day Pass, MBL Student Monthly Pass, or EZ Transit Pass) onto your TAP card. Each time you tap, the system will first look for a valid pass; if none is found, it will deduct the appropriate fare from your stored value.
Effective September 21, 2025:
- All Montebello Day Passes will be available only on TAP cards—paper Day Passes will no longer be accepted.
All existing passes (including Metro passes and EZ Transit Passes) are sold on TAP.
Why TAP?
- Eco-friendly: Eliminates thousands of disposable paper passes and stamps.
- Durable: Use your TAP card again and again—no need to replace daily or monthly.
- Convenient: Load online, through the TAP app, at vendors, or on buses.
