How to Pay

Use your contactless credit or debit card, smartphone, smartwatch or a TAP card to pay at bus validators, rail gates or turnstiles before you board. The system automatically charges the correct fare.

Pay with a Credit/Debit Card or a TAP Card

Group Payment  (Credit/Debit Card Only)

TAP allows groups of up to 5 riders traveling together to pay with one credit or debit card.

• Rides for each member of the group are charged at full fare.
• Group payment is best for groups traveling together for their entire journey. If members of the group separate from the cardholder who paid their fare, those riders will be responsible for paying a new fare when they board a new bus or train. NOTE: Upon a fare inspection, if a rider cannot show proof of paid fare, they may be subject to a citation.
• Each member of the group receives free transfers, provided the group travels together for the entire journey and the same card is tapped to transfer.
• A group payment earns one paid ride toward the cardholder’s fare cap.
• Tap a credit/debit card on the TAP target once for each person in your group. Based on the number of taps, the gate will open (for a maximum of 30 seconds) to allow that many riders to pass. When all riders have passed, the gate will close.
• Alternatively, you may tap a credit/debit card on the TAP target once, then allow one rider to pass. Repeat this action until all riders in your group have passed through the gate. The gate will remain open a maximum of 15 seconds for each rider to pass.
