The Easy Card (stylized as EASY Card) is a contactless smartcard system for public transit fares in the Miami metropolitan area. The Easy Card is valid on Metrobus and Metrorail services in Miami-Dade County, and on Tri-Rail services throughout the region. Easy Card payments were introduced in 2009 on Miami-Dade Transit services, and expanded to Tri-Rail in 2011.[1] The card functions as a stored-value card, and can also be loaded with unlimited-ride passes. Reduced-fare and zero-fare versions of the Easy Card are available for eligible customers, including seniors and individuals with disabilities.

The Easy Card technology was developed by Cubic Transportation Systems, replacing paper tickets and tokens on Metrobus, Metrorail, and Tri-Rail services. Technology upgrades to the Easy Card system since 2019 have enabled contactless credit card payments and fare capping on Metrorail and Metrobus services.
