I'm coming from Madison in Lakewood and coming to the terminal can I pay cash on the bus? If not how do I get a ticket?

This bus terminal caters to many bus lines. Depending on the bus you're taking, you can purchase from a kiosk or ticket machine, however all buses require a ticket when departing from PABT.

My understanding is that all buses DEPARTING from the Port Authority Bus Terminal ONLY accept tickets, not cash. However, buses GOING TO the Port Authority Bus Terminal still accept cash as payment for fares.
