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 />
