But already some people are worried about how much it could cost to ride light rail. They don't want Capital Metro to up-charge customers like the agency does for those who ride the MetroRail commuter train.A one-day local bus pass is $2.50. A one-day pass to ride MetroRail and the bus is $7.
The environmental justice group PODER has been arguing light-rail fares should be the same as the bus not only to keep up ridership, but also to ensure those who rely on transit the most can still afford it. "When that rail comes in, we want to make sure everybody benefits," Almanza said."If it's $2.50 for the bus, it should be $2.50 for the rail. That's equity."$7. A single ride on the train is $3.50. For local bus service, a day pass is $2.50 and a single ride costs $1.25.MetroRail costs much more to operate than any other CapMetro service, but it's also subsidized far more heavily than the bus..
