Metrocard fares and caps
Make the most of the weekly maximum fare. They will automatically apply when using your Metrocard.
When you use your Metrocard, you'll never pay for more than 2 trips on a day, or 10 trips on a week (from Monday to Sunday).
Check out the Fare caps information for each fare type here.
Paying less for weekly travel is one more reason to choose the bus more often!
