Blue and Green Lines (Cleveland) - Fare Collection

Fare Collection

Effective September 1, 2009, the one-way cash fare on the RTA Rapid Transit is $2.25. A five-trip fare card can be purchased for $11.25. An All-Day pass, allowing unlimited riding on the rapid transit as well as on RTA buses, is $5.00 ($2.50 for children). Weekly and monthly passes are also available, and there are discounted fares for seniors and the disabled.

Fares are paid upon entering when traveling eastbound (southbound on the Waterfront Line), and upon leaving when traveling westbound (northbound on the Waterfront Line). Fares are collected on board the train except at Tower City Station, where they are collected at faregates entering or leaving the station. Certain other stations, notably those on the Waterfront Line, have facilities for collecting fares, but those facilities are not used except during special events, such as during Cleveland Browns games at West 3rd Street Station.
