Fare Capping with EZfare
What is fare capping? Fare capping is an automated system built into the EZfare app that guarantees you'll never pay more than the cost of a 7-day or 31-day pass when purchasing single ride or day passes in the allotted time period.
This means, in a 7-day or 31-day period, you will never pay more than $15 or $50 for all of your bus passes put together. Once riders reach the amounts set in the system for weekly or monthly passes, subsequent rides will be free until the time period resets.
Example: If you purchase more than 12 single ride passes using the EZfare app in 5 days time, you'll ride free using EZfare for the next 2 days. Therefore, you'll never spend more than the $15 it would have cost to purchase a 7-day pass.
You can download the EZfare app on Google Play or the App Store.
