single ride

Just one journey

A single ride is one trip on public transportation, as opposed to a round trip or unlimited pass.

Transit systems sell single-ride tickets or fares for passengers making just one journey: I only need a single ride to get downtown.

The term also applies to amusement parks, where you might buy a single-ride ticket rather than an all-day wristband.
