If I transfer, does it have a lower cost? Or, when I get on the next bus, do I have to pay the same fare?

You can buy up 2 transfers on a single fare which comes out to $2.50. which each fare is valid up 2hrs of time you purchased them. If your taking more then 3 buses best bet is to buy an all day pass which cost $4

Buy a monthly pass for $60, then you ride for $2 all day instead of $4 all day.

Once you go on bus you ask for transfer and you pay for the ride and plus transfer.. transfers is only for single ride ,however pay all day for 4 bucks and you can ride multiple rides
