Extra Information
Metrobus has divided its coverage of the city into concentric zones, radiating out from the CBD.
Most of the routes start from the inner city bus terminals in Zone 1, with longer trips traversing a number of different zones. For example, a trip from the CBD to Midrand could cross different zones up to eight times.
Bus fares are controlled by the City council and the fee structure is set out in a council by-law. Metrobus aims to keep the service affordable, with fare increases within the inflation rate.
The number of zones a commuter crosses determines the fare, with ticket prices varying from zone to zone.
