For Metro and Tren Nos, just tap your contactless Visa or Mastercard bank card (or phone/watch wallet) directly on the turnstile — live citywide since Feb 13, 2026. However, this does not yet work on Red Movilidad buses, so pick up a bip! card as backup if you'll be taking buses.
Getting to the start

Start at Palacio de La Moneda, Av.

More details
Base fares run roughly CLP $735 (off-peak) to $895 (peak).
Pago Ágil (contactless) currently only supports adult fares, and to keep the integrated transfer discount you must use the same card/device for the whole trip.
Buses aren't covered yet (rollout projected Q4 2026), so runners mixing Metro + bus travel should still get a bip!
card.
