Capital Metro is ready to tout its new app and Amp card
Thursday, August 17, 2023 by Eric Webb
After delays and a quiet rollout, Capital Metro Transportation Authority on Wednesday announced that its new mobile app for smartphones is good to go. The new Amp card and its fare caps are at the heart of the agency’s updates. “The cap is automatically calculated on your AMP pass so that you never pay more than you should. After you have spent the equivalent of the cost of a daily pass in single rides during a service day … you’ve met the daily cap and ride free the rest of the day. After you’ve spent the equivalent of the cost of a 31-day pass in single rides, you’ve met the monthly cap and ride free until the first day of the next month. For reduced fares, you’d need to take 3 rides in 24 hours to spend the $1.25 cap,” according to Capital Metro’s online FAQ. The Amp Card isn’t just for app users; riders can pick up a physical card at the Transit Store. Download the new Capital Metro app here.
