Metro’s base fare is $1.50. You can pay cash each time you board a Metro bus (bus operators don’t carry change, so you’ll need exact fare) or buy a ticket from a self-service vending machine each time you enter a Metro Rail or Metro Orange Line station.
Reduced cash fares are available for senior and disabled riders with valid proof of status.

TIP: Two children under age 5 may travel free with each fare-paying adult on bus or rail.

If you’re going to be a frequent rider, a Monthly or Weekly Pass may be your best value. There are several types of Reduced Fare Passes for student, senior and disabled riders as well; a Day Pass is also available. All are sold on stored value cards called TAP cards at hundreds of locations throughout the county.

TIP: If you’re getting on a Metro bus with a pre-paid pass on a TAP card, simply tap it on the farebox’s TAP target as you board. On Metro Rail lines and the Metro Orange Line, you need to tap your card on the turnstile or station validator as you enter the station.
