Summer Time SmartTrip® Updates and Changes

Metro is implementing several changes and updates to the SmartTrip® card this summer. Some are good and some are

not so good. Being a regular Metro rider who enjoys riding ; I’ll only focus on the good changes/improvements.

 

SmartTrip® card holders can now view their account information online anytime they wish. It’s an easy and simple process, a few clicks and you see your account information. Once I created my account, I was amazed to see how quickly I received my confirmation email. Way to go Metro!

 

Starting August 29, the cost to purchase a SmartTrip® card will be reduced to 50%. Which means the new cost will only be $2.50. Additionally there shall be a 25 cents discount per trip for customers who use a SmartTrip® card instead of a paper fare card. That’s a great savings!

Lastly, SmartTrip® now has a mobile feature too. SmartTrip® card holders can now view their account information on their mobile phones.

Metro is making travel, commuting and tracking easy and simple. Go Metro!!! Go SmartTrip®!!!
