January Fare Increase
Capital Metro implemented a fare increase on Jan. 18, 2010. Seniors 65 and over, riders with disabilities and Medicare cardholders will continue to ride for free.
The fare increase is one part of a long-range financial sustainability plan to help Capital Metro mitigate the rising costs of providing transportation services to the Central Texas region, especially during these difficult economic times.
