Microtransit fares begin Wednesday, October 15th

October 14, 2025

             Two months after a successful launch, Metro Transit’s microtransit pilot is set to begin charging fares at the start of service on Wednesday, October 15^th.

             The service provided more than 7,000 rides in the first 60 days post launch.

             Rides are $3 per person in each direction. This includes a transfer to or from the regular fixed route bus. Transfers follow the same rules as on Metro buses. If a rider is transferring to or from microtransit to MOBY, it is $4.25 per trip including transfer.

Note: Riders using microtransit and MOBY must use Umo to get the discounted transfer fare.

Riders are able to request on-demand rides when they’re within one of the three zones microtransit serves in Omaha: North Zone, South Zone, and West Zone. A rider can go anywhere within the zone they request the ride in. If they want to get to another zone, they can connect to a bus route to finish the trip. The North Zone also includes three additional destinations to better connect riders: 33^rd & Dodge ORBT station, Open Door Mission Campus, and Eppley Airfield. Detailed maps showing the zones and where Metro Transit’s routes interconnect can be found here.

             Metro Transit’s pass programs, including K-12 Rides Free, university passes, and half-fare, do not apply to microtransit services.

             Riders can book through the Metro Flex OMA app or through customer service at 402-341-0800.

             There are several different ways for riders to pay, that can be found at MetroFlexOMA.com
