Fare Vending Machines

Buying your transit fare is easy with fare vending machines located on all light rail platforms at all light rail stations. Passes purchased at fare vending machines are good on bus and light rail service. American Express, Discover, Mastercard, Visa and debit cards accepted.

IMPORTANT! A 1-ride fare purchased at a fare vending machine is good only for light rail; keep your receipt because it is your proof of payment. To purchase a 1-ride fare for the bus, simply pay cash at the bus farebox.
