Transit fares and parking fees

Payment options accepted include:

• Contactless-enabled bank cards or credit cards
  • Just look for the little contactless symbol on your card (hint: it looks like a wave)
• Digital wallets
  • Such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay and Fitbit Pay
• Mobile Passes
  • Buy these on the GO Miami-Dade Transit app
• EASY Card
  • Contact the EASY Card Customer Service team to load passes and add store value to your EASY Card. The EASY Card Contact Center is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. except County-observed holidays, at 786-469-5151 or at [email protected]
  • EASY Cards are available for purchase at various sales outlets throughout the County
  • Register your EASY Card online or by calling 786-469-5151 to receive balance protection if the card is lost or stolen
  • Pro tip: re-load your EASY Card online via the Transit Store to avoid having to do so in person at the ticket vending machines or sales outlets.
• Cash payment
  • Cash payment will be accepted to ride Metrobus and at all Ticket Vending Machines to purchase an EASY Card or fare product.

Riders can take advantage of Miami-Dade Transit’s fare capping feature at $5.65 per day for unlimited rides on Metrorail or Metrobus. Metromover is always free.

• Fare capping: Don’t know if you’ll be taking one or a few trips on transit? Not a problem! Once you’ve tapped your EASY Card (with stored value) or contactless-enabled bank card/digital wallet to start your trip, your total cost will be capped once you reach the cost of a 1-Day Pass. This means you won’t pay more than $5.65 per day for unlimited rides on Metrorail or Metrobus when using the same contactless-enabled bank card/digital wallet.
• One tap ride: Metrorail riders don’t have to tap out to exit the system. A one-time tap to enter the system is all that’s needed.

Metrorail parking is available to Transit customers only. You must board Metrorail or Metrobus to park at a Metrorail facility. Learn more about Metrorail parking locations and hours.

Monthly Parking

• Riders can purchase a digital monthly parking permit at any EASY Card vending machine when purchasing a 1-Month Pass. To activate digital parking, a Transit Store account is required. Learn more.
• With Miami-Dade Transit's $45 monthly parking pass (Requires EASY Card or EASY Ticket), riders can purchase monthly parking without purchasing a monthly transit pass.

Daily Parking

• Daily Metrorail parking can be purchased at any Metrorail Ticket Vending Machine or via PayByPhone (service charge applies). The cost is $4.50 at a TVM or $4.77 through the PayByPhone app. You can also call 1-888-680-7275 to pay for daily parking at any Metrorail facility, or overnight and long-term parking at the Earlington Heights, Okeechobee and South Miami Metrorail garages.
• Parking at Metrobus Park & Ride facilities is always free.
• Riders with a state-issued parking permit or license plate for people with disabilities may park free in spaces designated for disabled riders.

What are the fare costs to ride Miami-Dade Transit?

The cost of a trip aboard Metrorail or Metrobus is $2.25 each way, or $5.65 for a 1-Day Pass.

New parking pass option: With the all-new $45 monthly parking pass (Requires EASY Card or EASY Ticket), riders can purchase monthly parking without purchasing a monthly transit pass. This provides a valuable option for riders who may not commute daily and is more cost-effective than the daily $4.50 parking rate.
