SAN ANTONIO (Aug. 20, 2018) — It’s time for students to pick up their VIA Semester Pass for Fall 2018. VIA provides students unlimited trips on all regular, Express, and Prímo bus service for just $38 with a Semester Pass, now on sale at VIA Service Centers and available on select campuses.
The Pass is good for students enrolled in K-12, attending any college, university or trade school in the service area. The Fall 2018 Semester Pass is valid August 2018 through January 2019.
