Known gapVIA publishes the eligibility test but not a veteran-specific fare amount — disabled veterans fall into the general reduced-fare category. The saving figure here is derived from that category rather than from a published veteran fare, and is labelled estimated for that reason.
Worth knowingThe Randolph location cannot issue the Reduced Fare ID. VIA says so on its own page and it is an easy wasted trip.
