The NFTA is providing our Metro riders with a new way to pay. Customers can now download the MetGo app, which works on an account-based system. Riders can load money on the app and use it to pay the fare for Metro services system-wide.
Benefits include ease of access as well as fare capping which ensures riders won’t pay more than $5 a day no matter how much they ride the bus or rail.
“Making public services as easy to access as possible is a top priority for us,” said James Morrell, our Director of Public Transportation. “The launch of this app marks a major milestone as we enter into implementing this new state-of-the-art fare collection system.”
The MetGo app is now available on both iPhone and Android platforms.
Riders who do not have access to a smartphone can purchase a reloadable MetGo card for only $2.00 at the NFTA’s customer service center at 181 Ellicott Street. Cards are also available for purchase at participating 7-Eleven, Walgreens, and Walmart stores.
More information on our new fare system can be found at metgo.nfta.com.
