TAP Cards
TAP is the new, convenient way to pay your fare. It's a durable plastic card with an electronic chip inside that you use again and again. TAP cards are replacing all Metro paper passes and stamps.
With TAP, you can:
- Buy Online, Anytime. If you don't want to wait in line at a Metro Customer Center or pass outlet, just visit taptogo.net and purchase or reload your TAP card online -- any time of the day or night!
- Buy Automatically. Just sign up for Autoload and your pass will be purchased and loaded onto your TAP card automatically each month.
- Protect Your Balance. With free Balance Protection, you won't need to worry if your card is lost or stolen. Just fill out a one-time form; then, every time you reload your card, your balance will be guaranteed. Visit taptogo.net, log in as a new or existing user and protect your balance today! Balance protection forms are also available at Metro Pass sales locations.
- Help The Envorinment. TAP is a better choice for the environment because you reuse the same card each time instead of discarding paper passes every day, week or month.
