Tap your HOLO card on TheBus, The Handi-Van and at future rail stations to pay for your transit ride anywhere on island.
How It Works
Load money to your HOLO card on the website, using your phone, at local retailers. No need to hassle with cash.
Pay for two trips in one day with your HOLO card and you earn a day pass. You don't have to purchase the day pass upfront, although we still offer that too. You can purchase stored value for a day pass or load a pass here at holocard.net, or at a local retailer.
You can set up an account online to reload your card at a threshold, or monthly or just when you need it.
Your card’s serial number is linked to your account. You can link other family members to the same account and have multiple ways to load online.
If you set up an account and you lose your card don’t worry! Simply go online and cancel it and transfer the balance to your new card or call customer service to help you do this.

There are lots of convenient reasons to use your HOLO card but the key ones are:
- No paper tickets or passes to keep track off
- Balance protection if your cards is lost or stolen
- Get a card at over a hundred retail locations
- Set up autoload so you are never stuck without fare
Your HOLO card has a chip in it that allows a specific radio frequency to read it at a card reader. The card reader then sends a signal to a back office to confirm the card has a valid account associated with it. The account holds either a pass or value that you can use to ride transit. Every time you tap your card a signal is sent to the HOLO card back office to confirm that your account is good to go.
Just tap your card next to the reader sign on the validator marked HOLO (not the screen) and go! Check out the video on the Help page to see how too.
Right now you can use the HOLO card on the bus, but we will be making it available to use on Handi-Van and on the rail in the future.
The HOLO card can hold a pass or stored value in a linked account. Stored Value is an electronic alternative to cash. It uses a "smart card" that contains a microprocessor computer chip that both stores electronic currency and processes financial transactions.
