UC*Metro Program

New changes in UC*Metro program for 2011-2012 Academic Year (June 8, 2011)

The UC*METRO program continues to make it easy for UC students and staff to ride the bus. And starting June 20, 2011, students and staff can now get a free EZ Ride card, good for unlimited rides for the quarter for only $1 each way with no zone charges!

Learn more on our Frequently Asked Questions OR Visit the UC website to learn more about the program.

• Go*local. Hop on and off Metro for short trips throughout Uptown.
• Go*anywhere. If you transfer buses, you can go anywhere Metro goes!
