For several years, Banning and Beaumont (two cities on I-10 between San Bernardino and Palm Springs) have both operated bus service. Each city had its own bus routes, and travelling from one city to the other required a transfer at the city limits.

But as of October 2004, this all changed with the formation of “Pass Transit”. This is a "pseudomerger" of Banning Bus and Beaumont Transit, the agencies are still separate but the bus liveries are now the same across the system, and there are now overlapping lines serving both cities, as well as Cherry Valley and Cabazon.

Line #1 (Green) starts at the Highland Springs K-mart transfer point (all lines stop here, and this is also the transfer point for the RTA buses). #1 runs east along Ramsey, then at the city's edge, hops on I-10 for a trip to Cabazon (serving the Outlet Mall, Southeast Cabazon, and the Morongo Casino). Then #1 returns westbound on Ramsey, continuing into Beaumont (6th St) and looping around City Hall before returning to the K-Mart.

#2 (Purple) starts near Beaumont City Hall, and does a one way loop in Beaumont via Elm, Oak Valley, and Palm before following Route #1 via 6th/Ramsey. It also goes to Cabazon, although only the Outlets, the Community Center, and Casino Morongo are served on this route. (Route #1 serves more of Southeast Cabazon as well).

#1 and #2 each run every 120-minutes, providing 60-minute service along the combined portion of these two lines. But 6th/Ramsey is also served by other routes .

#3 (Gray) is a big one-way loop in Beaumont/Cherry Valley via 6th, Highland Springs, Cherry Valley Blvd and various nearby streets, Cherry, 16th, and Beaumont Ave. Service runs every 56 minutes....

#4 (Orange) is another one-way loop running within the city of Beaumont. 60-minute headway

#5 (Yellow) is the old Banning "Northern Route" (eastbound on Ramsey, westbound on Nicolet)

#6 (Pink) is the old Banning "Southern Route"; it returns to K-mart westbound on Ramsey.

These buses run Mo-Fri roughly between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m, and on Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fare is 50 cents; a 25 cent zone fare is charged for trips to/from Cabazon. Free transfers are available between routes; transfers to/from RTA are also available (a 50-cent upgrade fee is paid when transfering *to* an RTA bus, though).
