How do you use the Metrobus in Miami?

Getting around Miami with Metrobus Bus rides start at $2.25 per single trip. The easiest way to pay for a bus ride is with an EASY Ticket, which can purchased at select stations, or a rechargeable EASY Card, which can be purchased via the GO Miami-Dade Transit app for a contactless experience.



Using the Metrobus in Miami in 2026 is streamlined thanks to contactless payment options. You no longer need to purchase a physical "EASY Card" or ticket in advance. When you board the bus, you can simply tap your contactless credit/debit card or your smartphone (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay) on the farebox reader at the front. The fare is typically $2.25 per ride. If you prefer to use cash, you must have the exact change, as bus drivers do not carry cash and cannot provide change. For frequent travelers, downloading the "GO Miami-Dade Transit" app is highly recommended; it allows you to buy mobile passes and track bus locations in real-time. The system also features "fare capping," meaning if you pay with the same card or device, you will never be charged more than the price of a Daily or Weekly pass, making it one of the most flexible and cost-effective ways to navigate the city.
