SOUTH OF THE 10 - To keep Metro riders and our employees safe, we suspended front door boarding on our buses in March 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also relaxed our rules requiring riders to use the farebox and TAP validator.
With vaccinations well underway and mask wearing required on our system, we will resume front door boarding only and restart fare collection January 10, 2022.
We are working to make sure everyone knows about these changes well in advance and have an opportunity to learn about our [Low Income Fare is Easy (LIFE)](https://cl.s10.exct.net/?qs=102caf943370830b65d98e86217dbb03ce2c964e685039161fd111ce891a709df7c80d54d8a6ed20dadce05d9b917994538d324b6dc333c23fc3f0449612eb9d) program.
