TAP cards, fares and transfers
Metro accepts TAP cards and several contactless payment methods on buses and at rail stations.
You can tap a physical or digital credit or debit card, or use Apple Pay or Google Pay. Accepted card networks include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB and UnionPay. The regular one-way fare is $1.75, and children under age 6 may ride free with a fare-paying adult.
The daily fare cap is $5: after you pay for three rides in one day, additional rides are free under the cap. The 7-day fare cap is $18. Riders who tap to pay receive free transfers within two hours, but round trips are not included.
Use the same physical or digital credit or debit card throughout a trip to receive that transfer benefit. Discounted interagency transfers are available within 2.5 hours of the first tap.
If your journey begins or ends at the airport, compare the LAX transportation options with the rail connections that work for your plans.
When to compare transit with driving
Compare station travel times with car trips, then choose based on the connections and fares your route requires.
The three stations differ in their rail and bus connections, so check which one fits your destination rather than choosing on travel time alone.
Routes, fares and payment rules can change. Before you go, check Metro’s official site.
