Metro Transit Fare Information

Buses accept $1 bills and U.S. Coins, including $1 coins. Bus fareboxes and drivers can not make change. SuperSaver cards (which have enough to cover several fares) may be purchased at local grocery stores and other outlets.

Fare for the light rail may be paid at machines at any light rail station; unlike the bus, these machines give change. You must pay your fare at the station before entering the light rail. There is no place to buy a ticket once you are on the light rail, and those who ride without a ticket may receive a heavy fine.

If you pay cash and plan on taking more than one bus or the light rail, remember to ask the bus driver for a transfer when you get on or off. No transfer is necessary when transfering between buses using a SuperSaver card. All passengers transfering from the bus to the light rail need to ask for a “rail only” transfer from the bus driver. At the time of this printing, the SuperSaver card cannot be used to buy a ticket at the rail station.
