Frequently Asked Questions

What is fare capping?
If you don’t have the money to purchase a pass up-front or don’t know how often you will ride, fare capping is the best option for you. Simply ride, and the money you spend on fare will go toward earning a day or month pass. Once you spend the amount needed to earn the pass, you'll get to ride for free for the rest of the day or month.
With fare capping, you don't need to guess the amount of trips you'll make in a given period of time. This saves you money on passes you may not need while ensuring you always get a pass if you're riding frequently.

How do I earn a day or month pass?
All you have to do is ride. Every time you pay for your fare, your money goes toward a pass.
You'll earn a day pass after paying for more than 2 rides in a day. The validity period for the day pass is from 3 AM on the first day until 2:59 AM on the second. For more information, view How to Earn a Day Pass.
You can earn a month pass from the first to the end of the month. For example, if an adult rider uses $7.50 of fare on their HOLO Card each day, by the 11th day they will have spent $80 (the cost of an Adult monthly pass). Now they will ride for free for the rest of the month. For more information, view How to Earn a Month Pass.
