Fare Rates
A flat rate fare is calculated based on the tap on and tap off locations of each trip. If each tap is located within the same zone, a local flat rate fare is calculated. If the taps are located in different zones, a commuter flat rate fare is calculated.
Below are the flat rate fares you will be charged based on where you start and end your trip. If you forget to tap off a bus, you will be charged a "Missing Tap Fare" instead of the flat rate fare. It is important to remember to tap on and off the buses and LRT to ensure you get the best price possible.
Pre-Authorization
Please note: Banks pre-authorize a higher amount than the actual fare on debit and credit card transactions. Even if you have enough to cover the cost of a fare on your card, you will need to have a minimum of $5 available for the pre-authorization (similar to how you pre-authorize payment at a gas station). These charges will be corrected and the correct fare posted in your transaction history within 24-48 hours.
If you’re using an AMEX card as your payment method, the minimum for the pre-authorization is $25. If the correct fare hasn’t been returned within 24-48 hours, please contact your bank for more information on the transaction.
