• Tap. Ride. Go. Contactless Payment on Metro

    Monday, November 24, 2025

    Tap. Ride. Go. is live on Metrobus! Customers can now simply tap a contactless credit or debit card or use Apple Pay and Google Pay on bus farebox readers to pay for their fares.  

    Fares are required to ride Metrobus. Most routes cost $2.25, and express buses cost $4.80. Customers can now get a transfer discount between Metrorail and Metrobus by using the same card when transferring. 

    Since Tap. Ride. Go. launched for Metrorail in May, customers have used contactless payment for more than 6 million trips.
