Ways to Pay

There are multiple options for paying the regular or discounted fare when you board a METRO curb2curb shuttle, as shown below.

METRO Q® Fare Card

A contactless fare payment option – this is the form of payment used by most METRO riders. It functions as a debit card for riding METRO. You can continually load and store money on it – and then money will be deducted each time you pay your fare.

How To Pay

Tap your regular or discounted METRO Q® Fare Card on the validator inside the vehicle when you board (as shown in the photo) and the fare amount will be deducted. If you prefer to go contactless, you can wave your card close to the validator as well.

Make sure the light registers green in the upper right when you tap or wave.

Transfers

After the fare amount is deducted from your card, you’ll receive free transfers between any of these METRO services for up to three hours in any direction:

Local bus
METRORail
METRO curb2curb

For transfers to Park & Ride bus service, you only pay the fare difference for up to three hours in any direction.

5 for 50

Paying your fare with a METRO Q® Fare Card entitles you to METRO’s 5 for 50 offer – you’ll be credited with five free trips for every 50 paid trips.

Each of your five free trips may be used on any of the following services for up to three hours at no charge, regardless of the service(s) you typically use or where you board:

Local bus
Park & Ride bus
METRORail
METRO curb2curb

Immediately after you reach 50 paid trips, your five free trips will be applied automatically to the next five trips you take.

METRO Q Mobile Ticket

This is a contactless fare payment option. Download the METRO Q Ticketing app to your smartphone and sign up for an account on the app. That will allow you to purchase regular fare mobile tickets to board any METRO curb2curb shuttle. Discounted fare mobile tickets aren’t available for purchase.

How To Pay

Once you purchase and activate a mobile ticket, it will display animated colors and motion on your phone. Show that to the operator as you board, as shown in the photo. After you activate your mobile ticket, it's valid for three hours.

Transfers

After you activate a Local Single Ride or Local Day Pass mobile ticket, you’ll receive free transfers between any of these METRO services in any direction:

Local bus
METRORail
METRO curb2curb

To transfer to Park & Ride service, you'll need to purchase and activate a Park & Ride mobile ticket. It entitles you to free transfers between any METRO service of equal or lesser value.

5 for 50

Paying your fare with a METRO Q Mobile Ticket entitles you to METRO’s 5 for 50 offer – you’ll be credited with five free trips after you’ve activated 50 mobile tickets.

For each of your five free trips, you can choose to activate a Local Single Ride mobile ticket or any Park & Ride mobile ticket for up to three hours at no charge.

METRO Day Pass

A contactless fare payment option – this offers the best value if you ride local services three or more times in a day (at different times of the day). It functions as a debit card for riding METRO. You can continually load and store money on it – and then money will be deducted each time you pay your fare.

The maximum daily amount deducted is $3 from a regular METRO Day Pass or $1.50 from a discounted METRO Day Pass. The pass is only valid on the day of activation. It expires at 2 a.m. the following morning.

How To Pay

Tap your regular or discounted METRO Day Pass on the validator inside the vehicle when you board (as shown in the photo) and the fare amount will be deducted. If you prefer to go contactless, you can wave your card close to the validator as well.

Make sure the light registers green in the upper right when you tap or wave.

Transfers

After each of the first two times the fare amount is deducted from your card, you’ll be entitled to free transfers between any of these METRO services for up to three hours in any direction:

Local bus
METRORail
METRO curb2curb

After the third time the fare amount is deducted from your card, you’re entitled to unlimited use of those services for the rest of the day.

METRO Money

A contactless fare payment option – this is a popular choice for agencies, hotels and convention groups looking to provide a disposable fare card to clients, customers or guests. The card comes preloaded with amounts ranging from $1.25 to $20. These cards can't be reloaded.

How To Pay

Tap your METRO Money card on the validator inside the vehicle when you board (as shown in the photo) and the fare amount will be deducted. If you prefer to go contactless, you can wave your card close to the validator as well.
