Fare Structure
Effective Sunday Jan. 16, 2011, Capital Metro implemented a fare adjustment that increased some fares and pass rates, standardized MetroExpress and MetroRail fares, and eliminated most free fares. The new fare structure is divided into three categories: Local (all local MetroBus routes), Regional (MetroExpress and MetroRail), and Reduced (1/2 fare for those who qualify):
Local | Local Reduced* | Regional | Regional Reduced* | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Single Ride | $1 | $0.50 | $2.75 | $1.35 | |
Day Pass | $2 | $1 | $5.50 | $2.75 | |
7-Day Pass | $9 | $4.50 | $20 | $10 | |
31-Day Pass | $30 | $15 | $64 | $32 |
Reduced Fares are available to those with a Capital Metro Reduced Fare ID (formerly the Disability Fare Card) including: Seniors 65 and over, Medicare card holders, and people with disabilities. Students 6-18 with a valid school ID, and Active & Reserve Military with valid ID.
Local fares required for MetroBus routes. Regional fares required for MetroExpress and MetroRail (includes all MetroBus service). MetroRail riders may purchase a single ride zoned fare: $1 for one zone, $2.75 for 2 zones. All other MetroRail passes must be purchased at the Regional rate. The table below regarding available is up-to-date as of January 2011:
Pass Name | Cost | |
---|---|---|
MetroAccess 10-Day Ticket Booklet | $15 | |
MetroAccess Monthly Pass | $40 | |
RideShare Monthly Pass | $60 | |
