GoRaleigh Fares & Passes
GoRaleigh is returning to fare collection effective September 1, 2024
After suspending fares during the COVID-19 pandemic, GoRaleigh will resume collection of fares on September 1, 2024. For passengers to be prepared to pay fares September 1, we are doing two months of education. July 2024 will serve as a “find your fare” month where riders can explore the best ticketing option to prepare for when fares are collected.
In August, riders will be asked to board the bus using the UMO Mobile app, UMO Card or cash. Riders will be provided a UMO promo code or a complimentary day pass on the bus to help riders adapt to returning to fares.
Fares will begin to be collected on September 1, 2024.
Payment options for passengers include new digital ticketing and a convenient pass for income qualified riders to ride fare-free. Youth (ages 13-18) and seniors (ages 65 and older) will still ride free (as they did pre-pandemic) after they enroll in one of the GoPass programs that allows them to use the Umo digital ticketing platform.
GoRaleigh Fare Options
Single Ride Fare - $1.25
Fares can be paid through the UMO app, an UMO card or through cash on the bus
UMO App: Download through the Apple Store or Google Play Store

Cash: Pay in EXACT change when getting on the bus.
- Insert your cash and coins into the farebox. The location for the bill-slot and coin-drop is the lower right corner. The farebox will not accept bills over $20. Bills should be flat and unfolded. Drop coins one at a time.
- If you do not have exact change, you will not receive cash back. If you are due more than $1 in change, you will need to ask the driver for you to be issued a Change Card that can be used on future bus rides. The value of the Change Card will be printed on the back.
