How much is a bus pass in Florida?

Monthly Pass: The Passport Unlimited access on all PSTA and HART Services for entire calendar month ? $85. 1-Day Unlimited Go Card Unlimited Rides for 31 Consecutive Days. Not valid on 100X and 300X ? $65. 31-Day Unlimited Reduced Fare Go Card ? $35.



Because Florida is a large state with many independent transit authorities, the cost of a bus pass varies significantly by city. In Miami (Miami-Dade Transit), a 1-day pass is roughly $5.65 and a 1-month "EASY Card" pass is $112.50. In Orlando (LYNX), a 1-day pass costs $4.50 and a 30-day pass is $50.00. Further south in Broward County (BCT), an adult 31-day pass is priced at $70.00. For those in the capital, Tallahassee (StarMetro), a 31-day pass is among the most affordable at $38.00. In 2026, most Florida transit systems have moved toward "contactless" payment and mobile apps like Token Transit or Go Miami-Dade, which often feature "fare capping"—ensuring that once you spend the equivalent of a day or month pass through individual rides, the rest of your travel for that period is free. Many cities also offer significant "Reduced Fare" passes (often 50% off) for seniors, students, and persons with disabilities.

That’s a great question, but there isn’t a single answer because Florida does not have a statewide bus pass. Public transportation is managed by individual counties, cities, and regional transit authorities. The cost and type of passes available vary dramatically depending on where you are.
