What is Fare Capping?

Fare capping means that once a rider pays enough fares to cover a 30-day pass, they do not need to pay any additional fares for the remainder of the 30-day window. A 30-day pass for JTS is $52, which is the maximum amount a rider will spend on fares within any 30-day window.

How does Fare Capping work?

Each time a rider uses the MyJTS smartphone app or MyJTS smart card, MyJTS looks back at previous rides within the last 30-days and determines if the fare cap has been reached. Once the cap has been reached, the rider will not be charged for that day’s rides.

Who is eligible for fare capping?

All riders are eligible to take advantage of fare capping! 

How do I participate in fare capping?

To participate in the fare capping program, riders must use the MyJTS app or the MyJTS smart card to pay for their rides. Both options require riders to set up an online account.

Does fare capping work when I use cash, paper passes or metal tokens?

No, the farebox system can only complete the lookback when a rider uses the cell phone app or smart card.

Why did JTS implement fare capping? 

JTS desires to be more equitable in how fares are structured. Riders who are unable to take advantage of traditional upfront discount programs, such a purchasing a 30-day pass in a single transaction, will still be able to benefit from the cost savings.
