How to Ride
The first step in riding Los Angeles Metro is to decide your starting point, your destination, and the day and time you want to travel. To simplify that information, use the Metro Trip Planner, and you’ll get a customized itinerary of your trip in seconds, telling you what line to take, where to board, and where to exit and fees.
Metro’s base fare is $1.75. You can pay cash each time you board a Metro bus (bus operators don’t carry change, so you’ll need exact fare) or buy and add value to a reusable TAP card from TAP vending machines.
All fares can be pre-paid by loading a pass or Stored Valued (cash) on a TAP card and then tapping each time you board. On buses you can also pay for a single ride with a token or cash using exact change.
