Fare Capping
- Daily Fare Capping Included! Riders will never pay more than $2.50 per service day for standard fare. Once the daily cap is reached, remaining rides that day are free.
Monthly fare capping is not available with Tap to Pay. For the best discounts, riders should use the Umo app, which offers both daily and monthly fare capping.

How to Tap
1. Look for the scanner icon and tap your card or payment device to the scanner on the bus.
2. Payment is successful when the scanner displays a green screen and beeps!
Tap to Pay Tips
- Tap to pay is not available on any other CapMetro services like Rail or Access.
- Keep your cards separate and only touch one form of payment to the reader—you can only benefit from fare capping if you use the same card to pay.
- Each rider must use a different contactless payment method.
