Paying for your ride
There are no fareboxes on METRO line buses or trains. You must pay for your ride BEFORE boarding. TRIP Agents will randomly ask to see proof of fare payment on trains and stations. Have your proof of payment ready.
Note that METRO station platforms are paid fare zones, reserved for those who are purchasing tickets or for ticketed customers who are waiting for or getting off trains.
Use cash or a credit card to buy a ticket from the ticket machine on the station platform, validate your Go-To Card or pass at the card reader on the platform or use the Metro Transit app.

Fares are the same as local bus fares: $2 any time of day. No express charges apply. Seniors, youth, Medicare card holders, and people with disabilities qualify for reduced fares during non-rush hours.
