Fare Information
Just $1 each way
For many people, a one-way trip is just $1. You can pay using coins, $1 bills, tokens, or the Token Transit app. All University of Illinois students, faculty, and staff ride fare-free by showing their University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign i-Card.
Or get a $60 annual pass
For less than a quarter a day, you can buy 12 months of unlimited travel on MTD. You may purchase an Annual Pass at Illinois Terminal or on the Token Transit app.

Token Transit
Ditch the dollar. Token Transit allows you to store fares and passes on your phone. And no more last minute trips to pick up the kids because they don't have bus fare or lost their school I.D. Token Transit allows you to send fares to family members' accounts from your desktop.
Illinois
If you’re on campus and use the bus, there’s an app for that! Not only can the Illinois app plan your next MTD trip and provide real-time updates for departure times, but it can also act as a bus pass when current University of Illinois students, faculty, and staff show their virtual iCard in the app.
