Can I have money and a travel pass loaded on the same Snapper?
Yes. You can have both a travel pass and money loaded on to your Snapper at the same time.
We strongly recommend you always have a few dollars loaded onto your Snapper even when you regularly use a travel pass. That way, when your travel pass runs out unexpectedly you will still be able to travel and if you board a service that your travel pass is not valid for, you will still be able to pay for your trip using Snapper and receive any Snapper discount that applies..
To be able to travel on a travel pass you must have a Snapper balance of $0.00 or more. The Snapper reader will automatically recognise a valid travel pass. If you board a bus service for which you do not have a valid travel pass, just tag on at the start of your trip and tag off at the end, the correct fare will be deducted from the money stored on your Snapper.
