What is fare capping?

• Fare capping guarantees a maximum of $5.65 per day for unlimited rides on Metrorail and Metrobus
• For example, after the third time you tap into the Metrorail faregates, the system will cap your fare for the day at $5.65 (versus $2.25 per trip)
• Fare cost will always cap at $5.65 per day, no matter how many times you ride, including transfers, on Metrorail and/or Metrobus

How to ensure fare capping?

• Always use the same payment device to tap in and out for your trip
• For example: Don’t use your iPhone to tap in, and then tap out with your Apple Watch
• Even though the same bank card may be linked via both devices, you will be charged as if you are beginning a new trip and you lose the benefit of fare capping
