Transfers

To get a rail-to-bus discount or to transfer free from bus to bus, you must use a SmarTrip® card.

Bus to Bus

If you pay your bus fare with a SmarTrip® card, you may make unlimited Metrobus connections, including round trips within two hours.

Rail to Bus

Pay your Metrorail fare using SmarTrip® and you'll pay a reduced fare when transferring to Metrobus and most local buses.

Transfers to Express Routes

A customer using SmarTrip® transferring from a $1.50 regular-fare route to a $3.65 express route pays only the $2.15 difference.
