cash fare

Pay with bills

A cash fare is the amount paid in currency rather than by card, pass, or prepaid ticket—typically on buses or in taxis.

Transit systems often set cash fares higher than electronic payment options to encourage contactless transactions: The cash fare is $2.75, but it's only $2.50 with a transit card.
