Starting July 1, Metro is introducing a new, simpler way to pay for rides.
👉 Regular fare remains $1.75 with two hours of free transfers.
👉 No one will pay more than $5 a day to ride or $18 in a 7-day period. After you reach the 1-day and 7-day caps, you can continue to ride free.
👉 To enjoy this benefit, you need to have a TAP card and pay for fare with Stored Value. They’re available for $2 at TAP vending machines located at Metro Rail and Busway stations, onboard Metro buses, at Metro Customer Centers, at TAP vendors (many grocery and convenience stores), and on taptogo.net or the TAP mobile app. You can also purchase a digital TAP card or pay fare with Apple Wallet. Fare capping will automatically apply.
👉 You can still pay with cash, but fare capping will not apply.
👉 Metro 1-Day, 7-Day and 30-Day passes are being discontinued beginning July 1 as they’re longer necessary with fare capping.
Seniors and Riders with Disabilities
👉 The base fare for seniors and customers with disabilities will remain at 75 cents during peak hours and 35 cents during off-peak hours.
👉 The daily cap remains at $2.50 and the 7-day cap will be $5.
K-12 and College/Vocational Students
👉 Base fare for K-12 will drop from $1 to 75 cents. College and vocational students will see their base fare drop from $1.75 to 75 cents.
👉 All student fares will be capped at $2.50/day and $6 in a seven-day period.
LIFE riders
👉 Riders enrolled in our Low Income Fare Is Easy (LIFE) program will get 20 free rides per month. Each ride will include 2 hours of free transfers. After taking the 20 free rides in a month, LIFE riders will participate in fare capping, where they can reach their 1-day and 7-day fare cap and earn additional free rides.
👉 LIFE riders will never pay more than $5 a day or $18 a week to ride.
J Line and Express Bus
👉 No more upcharges for these bus lines -- the cost drops to regular fare for your ride category.
