  8. Refunds are subject to a $10.00 processing fee.
  9. Refunds are calculated based upon the date Metro received the pass to be refunded. The price of a full monthly pass is deducted from the purchase price for each month, including the month the refund request and pass is received by Metro, that has expired since the beginning month of the pass. No refunds are given on annual passes during the 11th and 12th months of use.
  10. Replacement fees will be refunded only if the original annual pass is found and returned to Metro within 30 days of the replacement purchase. This refund is subject to a processing fee of $10.00.
