Metro’s urban network is divided into zones, and urban Adult fares relate to how many zones you travel within: 1 Zone, 2 Zones, or All Zones.
- 1 Zone fares can be used within a single zone only, without crossing a zone boundary.
- 2 Zones fares can be used to travel between two zones, crossing one zone boundary.
- All Zones fares can be used to travel between more than two zones.
Student and Concession customers pay a flat fare regardless of the number of zones travelled.
In the maps at the bottom of the page you can see the boundaries of the urban area for each city, and calculate how many zones your urban journey will cover. If your travel extends beyond the urban area, click here for information on non-urban fares.
