Coming Soon - m-Card
Your key to the city and a whole
lot more. |
In just a couple of months, we'll be introducing
our new Smart Card-based fare collection system.
The new "m-Card" will replace our existing
10-Ride, Monthly, and Semester Passes and will
offer great benefits to our Metrobus, most
notably, a reward program whereby customers can
collect m-Points and redeem them for merchandise
or additional rides with Metrobus. You can
learn more about the new m-Card by visiting
http://mcard.metrobus.com.

CUSTOMER'S
CORNER |

A customer writes:
You have regular ride fare $2, 10 ride ticket $18, monthly pass $63.
How about some type of half month pass?
Or make the monthly pass half price after the middle of the month, the 15th.
Sometimes a monthly pass would be useful to me but it is too late in the month to buy one to make it feasible.
Maybe the cost of the monthly pass could be adjusted as the months go on.
Metrobus Responds:
In November, we will be introducing a new Smart Card Fare Collection System that will allow us to offer just about any duration pass, like a 10-day, 2-week, or 1-day pass.
More information about the new system will be made available as we get closer to November.
