Daily Pass and the DARTCard

As always, the best bet for riding the bus is to purchase a Daily Pass. The cost of the daily pass is $2.10. The Daily Pass allows customers to ride any bus route in Sussex County all day long. Customers who are in the resort area can take advantage of DART First State's DARTCard.
