As of Thursday, paper passes for Oʻahu’s public bus system are no longer available as TheBus transitions to the HOLO electronic fare card system.
Passengers will still be able to use cash to pay for one-way fares on TheBus. But monthly and one-day passes have been phased out in lieu of HOLO cards. Adult cards are available at various grocery and convenience stores across the island, as well as online.
Annual passes and reduced fare HOLO cards can be purchased at TheBus Pass Office on Middle Street. Riders may order a Youth HOLO card online.

HONOLULU (AP) Honolulu is seeking public input for a project to improve the safety, especially for bicyclists and pedestrians, along Ala Wai Boulevard, a three-lane thoroughfare that runs through Waikiki.
An administrator for the Honolulu Department of Transportation Services, Renee Espiau, said Tuesday an upcoming department report will identify five intersections with high rates of pedestrian injuries.
There were 38 recorded bicycle and pedestrian injuries on the boulevard from 2012 to 2016, Espiau said.
Espiau said some potential additions could include new curb extensions, pedestrian crossings, sidewalk enhancements, shared-use paths, protected bikeways, lighting improvements or speed reduction measures.
Since last month, more than 100 public comments have appeared on the department’s website and ìthe vast majority comment(ed) on pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements needed,î Espiau said.
