The reason is mechanical rather than punitive: because Metromover charges nothing to board, there is no fare paid that a transfer could be credited against. Worth knowing if you are planning a journey that starts on Metromover.", "fare_capping": "Pay as you go is capped at 5.65 dollars a day on Metrorail and Metrobus, the same as a one day pass, when using the same EASY Card or contactless payment.
