From WMATA:

“Tap. Ride. Go. is live on Metrobus! Customers can now simply tap a contactless credit or debit card or use Apple Pay and Google Pay on bus farebox readers to pay for their fares.

Fares are required to ride Metrobus. Most routes cost $2.25, and express buses cost $4.80. Customers can now get a transfer discount between Metrorail and Metrobus by using the same card when transferring.
It’s another way Metro is improving our customers’ experience, making payment easier for visitors and occasional riders.” (more…)
