Fare capping may be one of the latest innovations being deployed by public transit for its ability to make it easier, cheaper and more equitable for regular riders to use the vital systems.
Los Angeles Metro, the third largest transit system in the nation, has enabled fare capping, which places a maximum of $5 per day for using transit or $18 per week. A standard one-way fare is $1.75 on the system’s network of trains and buses.
NEOride, a regional network of 29 mostly small transit agencies across Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Arkansas, has introduced the EZfare account-based ticketing system across 15 of the transit agencies, which includes Cincinnati and Cleveland, Ohio, with 11 of these enabling account-based ticketing. The EZfare system also enables fare capping at participating agencies, based on their individual fare rules.
