that you received the correct pass (Figure A).

5-Day Passes, and 30-Day Passes—need to be swiped every time you board a Long Beach
Transit bus. When swiping your pass through the card reader on the top right side
of the farebox (Figure D), the magnetic stripe must be facing you with the notched
corner facing top left (Figure E).You should hear a “beep,” which indicates that a valid pass was successfully swiped.
