Ticket machines sell new TAP cards and add cash values or passes onto existing TAP cards.
A TAP card is required for boarding all Metro Rail trains and G Line buses, even for a one way ride. For riders without a TAP card can get a card ($1 card fee will be added) along with a fare from the ticket machine (see picture here and here).
Step and step instruction is available here.
Available fares:
- Regular one-ride fares (One-ride means each segment. A transfer from the green line to the blue line means two rides.)
- Senior or disabled one-ride fare
- Regular Day Pass
- 7-Day Pass
- 30-Day Pass is $75.
- Cash values
All passes begin on the day of first validation, not day of purchase.
Senior and disabled riders without a TAP card can get a regular TAP card from the machine and add one-way senior/disabled fare onto the card. Multi-ride passes require a special senior and disabled TAP card that is not issued from ticket machines.
After purchasing the TAP card, all riders need to validate the card at a reader or turnstile before boarding the train. All B Line D Line and C Line stations have turnstiles, along with some stations on the other lines. Most A Line E Line L Line G Line stations have readers placed by the platform entrances instead of turnstiles. Riders without their cards validated is subject to citations.
