Miami-Dade Transit<br />
EASY Card/<br />
EASY Ticket<br />
The EASY Card is a durable plastic<br />
reloadable fare card. It is part of Miami-<br />
Dade Transit’s automated fare collection<br />
system. Fareboxes with “smart card”<br />
technology are installed on buses and<br />
fare gates at all Metrorail stations. Visitors<br />
and people who are not daily commuters<br />
can take advantage of <strong>the</strong> EASY Ticket.<br />
It works like <strong>the</strong> EASY Card, but expires<br />
after 60 days and is made of paper. To ride<br />
Metrorail, you must use an EASY Card or<br />
EASY Ticket as <strong>the</strong> faregates do not accept<br />
cash. Metrobus fareboxes still accept<br />
cash, and you can pay using dollar bills,<br />
quarters, dimes, and nickels. For more<br />
