Tap-to-Pay

Currently, when you tap your credit card, debit card, or mobile wallet to pay your fare, our system combines your ride charges throughout the day to keep processing efficient. You may notice a charge higher than $1 for the following reasons:

  • Accumulated Rides: Tap to Pay transactions are processed and grouped together once your card reaches $10 in total ride charges.
  • End-of-Day Settlement: If your total rides do not reach $10, all accumulated charges are processed automatically at the end of the day.

What to expect with our updated system:

  • Same-Day Posting: Your transit transactions will post to your bank or credit card account on the same day you travel.
  • Operational Alignment: Processing now matches our daily transit service operations rather than a 24-hour rolling clock.
  • Statement Adjustments: You may notice a change in the exact time or day transactions appear on your financial statements.

Have additional questions about your charges? Please contact Centro directly at (315) 442-3342 for assistance.
