Pay Your Fare with PRONTO
PRONTO is the easy way to pay for your transit fare! Download the PRONTO App to your phone, then load money onto your app ahead of game day. Alternatively, you can also pick-up and add money to a PRONTO card (one-time $2 fee) at any Trolley ticket machine (lines can get long on game day, so plan ahead!), or any participating retail network location.
Tap or scan your PRONTO card/app at a station validator every time you ride! A one-way fare will be deducted (valid for free transfers for two hours), up to the value of a Day Pass. Every passenger must have their own PRONTO app or PRONTO card.
