Fares & Passes
Your Ticket to Ride
Taking the bus is an affordable, easy and convenient way to get around town. Metro fares and passes can be bought online, from a participating local vendor or right at the farebox when you board the bus.
Metro riders also have a contactless option to pay for fares via the Umo app or by purchasing a smart card!
