COMMUTER CARDS

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND USE

Commuter Cards are offered to provide regular ferry commuters with a discounted rate of passage due to the frequent nature of their travel. In consideration of the Commuter Card rate, which is received when the card is used, customers using the LCT Ferries Commuter Card agree that its use shall be subject to the following limitations:

  1. New Commuter Cards will be mailed about 48 business hours after we receive your application.
  1. Commuter Card rates reflect a 30% discount* on regular one way fares, and cards are intended for use for discounted fares only.
  1. The Commuter Card is good for one-way passage at the discounted rate between Grand Isle, VT/Cumberland Head, NY, and Charlotte, VT/Essex, NY in either direction, year round.
  1. Existing cards can be replenished at our ticket booths year round. There is a $200 minimum recharge per card.
  1. Lost or stolen cards may be replaced for a fee plus certified mail postage. Once the Burlington office is notified of the loss, monetary value on a lost/stolen card will be transferred to a new card, invalidating the old card. There is no fee to replace a damaged card.
  1. In the event funds used are invalid, the Commuter Card will become invalid immediately and the unpaid balance, plus applicable fees, will be deducted from the balance of the card if available.
  1. Because the discount is extended for bulk prepayment of ferry passage, requests for a refund on a Commuter Card balance may be adjusted to remove the discount from fares used.
  1. Terms and conditions subject to change without notice.
