Fares

 

These fares went into effect on January 1st, 2010.

 

All fares are subject to change and may be affected by updates to the Metropolitan Council regional transit system, known as TransitLink.

 

All of our fares are based on a mileage system. There are 3 tiers of rates and they are figured out when you call in and book your ride. When you book a ride with a Customer Service agent you will be told that fare that you are required to pay. Please remember to follow these fare rules:

 

• Carry correct change with you to pay for your ride. Drivers are not able to make change.

 

• Pay for your ride each time you get on the bus. You are not allowed to pay for the return ride on the 1st ride.

 

If you don't like to carry cash with you each time you get on the bus, we have a Fare Ticket book that you can purchase. You can click the Fare Ticket Books link to get additional information about these books.

 

Below you will see the breakdown of the fares that SmartLink Transit charges for a ride.
