Metro Fare Collection Resumes January 2022

LOS ANGELES — To keep riders and employees safe, Metro suspended front door boarding on its buses in March 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also relaxed rules requiring riders to use the farebox and TAP validator.

With vaccinations well underway and mask wearing required on its system, Metro will resume front door boarding only and restart fare collection Jan. 10, 2022.

Metro is working to make sure everyone knows about these changes well in advance and have an opportunity to learn about its Low Income Fare is Easy or LIFE program at: www.metro.net/riding/life 

Metro is also hosting a series of pop-up events to encourage signing up for its LIFE program, The Source www.thesource.metro.net/help-signing-up-for-discounted-low-income-fares and  Pasajero, www.elpasajero.metro.net/gratis-utilizando-los-programas-life-gopass-y-tap  

have more information about dates, times, and locations.
