Transit Fares





With an EASY Card or EASY Ticket, you don鈥檛 have to look for loose change every time you ride or wait in line for a monthly transit pass. When boarding a Metrobus, simply tap your reloadable EASY Card or EASY Ticket on the farebox. The fare is automatically deducted, or enjoy unlimited rides for a day, week or month with a time-based pass.





Metrobus fareboxes also accept dollar bills, quarters, dimes, and nickels. Obtain and load an EASY Card or EASY Ticket at any Metrorail station, or at any of over 80 sales outlets located throughout the County. EASY Cards can also be obtained and loaded or autoloaded online.





Note: Passengers paying cash must pay the full fare every time they board a bus or train. For customers using an EASY Card or EASY Ticket, bus-to-bus transfers are free while rail-to-bus and bus-to-rail transfers are 50 cents. (EASY Card/Ticket customers transferring from a regular bus to an express bus will be charged a 35-cent upgrade on their card or ticket.) Miami-Dade Transit strongly recommends using an EASY Card or EASY Ticket if your trip requires transfers.





To ride Metrorail, you will need an EASY Card or EASY Ticket as the new faregates do not accept cash. To obtain an EASY Card or EASY Ticket, walk over to one of the EASY Card vending machines located at the entrance of each rail station. Obtain an EASY Card or EASY Ticket using cash or a valid credit card. Then use the EASY Card or EASY Ticket to pay your fare at the faregate by tapping the EASY Card or EASY Ticket on the electronic Metrorail fare gates.





* You must also tap out whenever exiting a Metrorail station. Otherwise, your transfer will be invalid and you will be charged the full fare.





Metromover is free for all riders. Enter any station through the entrance gate.





Skip the long lines. Order online! Purchase and load an EASY Card. Or order it by calling 3-1-1 (persons who are deaf or with hearing impairments call 305-468-5402). EASY Cards (not EASY Tickets) can be purchased online or by telephone.How to buy weekly Metrobus ticket in Miami, FL?
