Metro Fare Capping Begins July 1



Beginning July 1, Metro riders do not have to purchase passes up front and can instead ride on a pay-as-you-go basis. Instead of purchasing a $7 day pass, riders will pay $1.75 for each trip, and when a rider pays for their third trip (the total would have been $5.25 - three times $1.75), Metro will stop charging for rides that day. Daily fare payments max out a $5 daily cap. The same fare capping process will be applied to weekly passes, with ride charges maxing out at $18.
