Changes to Fare Structure
METRO is planning to make changes to our fare structure from 1 October 2015. Greencards are cheaper, easier, and help us run more effi cient services so we are: • making standard daily caps even lower • discontinuing Day Tripper and Day Rover
all-day tickets
• ceasing 90-minute transfers on cash tickets
Change is always challenging, and we want to ensure that Metro’s considerable customer-base of travellers is well informed and understands how these changes can benefi t them!
Getting a Greencard is easy and we’ll make it even easier as we bring in these changes by waiving the $5 issue fee for a new card between 2 August and 30 September 2015. We will also remove the $5 minimum top up when recharging your Greencard.
Apply for your FREE Greencard online at metrotas.com.au, or in person at a Metro Shop or depot. Other Greencard agents can only issue unregistered Adult cards, however they can provide information and application forms for other card types. We can even send you out an application form when you call us on 13 22 01. Keep an eye on our website for details of when the Metro team will be in your area to distribute Greencards.
We’re all short on time and the Greencard makes it easier and quicker to board a bus – you won’t need to worry about fi nding the right change, demonstrating a concession, or knowing which kind of ticket to ask for. Greencard also saves you 20% on any fare, any time, as well as capping the amount your travel will cost each day.
Once you’ve got your free Greencard, you can easily top up your credit: • At a Greencard agent (using cash, credit card
or EFTPOS)
• On a bus (giving cash to the driver) • Online (using your credit card)
– for registered Greencard holders only
• On the Metro Tas App (free download from the App Store for iOs users).
With free Greencards between 2 August and 30 September 2015, low daily caps and discounted fares, there’s never been a better time to get on-board.
