Construction & Service Impacts  

Better Breeze fare equipment is being installed in phases systemwide to maintain access to all stations. 

During construction:

  • Rail and bus service is unchanged.   
  • Fare is required to ride. Customers must pay their fare with a new (orange) Breeze card or ticket, virtual Breeze card, credit or debit card, or mobile wallet. Old Breeze cards and the old Breeze Mobile 2.0 app DO NOT work on the new Breeze system. Ticket vending machines are available at rail stations. Click here for more information on how to pay. 
  • Installation of new fare equipment will continue for the next several months, so please look for signs if you need assistance navigating the system or paying your fare.
