Contactless payment validators allow riders to pay as they go and take advantage of “fare capping,” which ensures that you won’t be charged more than a set maximum amount for your travel each day, week, and month. When tapping to pay with a contactless payment method, you are able to pay as you go until a set maximum or “fare cap.” For example, MST’s fare capping guarantees that you won’t be charged more than $6 per day (or $3 per day for a Discount Fare*) no matter how many times you ride in a day—as long as you pay with the same contactless card or mobile wallet throughout the day. (*Note: Discounted fares are currently only available for registered contactless bank cards.)
Please see the table below for daily, weekly, and monthly fare-capping amounts when paying with the same contactless payment method.
Fare-Capping Period | Maximum Regular Contactless Fare | Maximum Discount Contactless Fare |
---|---|---|
Daily cap | $6 | $3 |
7-Day cap | $20 | $10 |
31-Day cap | $70 | $35 |
The 7-day and 31-day caps operate on a rolling basis. This means that a cap will apply for all trips taken within a 7-day and 31-day period from the first time you tap to pay, and on a rolling basis, based on usage thereafter.
To take advantage of fare capping, you must always use the same payment method each time you tap. For example: Don’t use your iPhone to tap on for one trip, and then tap for your next trip with your Apple Watch. Even though the same bank card may be linked via both devices, you will lose the benefit of fare capping.
If you would like more information on fare capping, please contact MST Customer Service at 888-678-2871, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Offices are closed on weekends and observed holidays.
