Do You Think Metro Is Right Or Wrong?
Metro Discontinues Paper Transfers
No paper transfers
After January 4, 2009, Metro will no longer issue or accept paper transfers in an effort to save the agency money and avoid abuse of paper transfers. Free transfers will still be available using a SmarTrip® card.
The SmarTrip® card makes paying your bus fare faster and easier than paying with cash. Plus, every bus ride is 10¢ cheaper when you pay with a SmarTrip® instead of cash. Additionally, bus transfer time will be extended from the current two to three hours.
We will continue to sell the $11 Weekly Metrobus pass.
Hand hold a SmarTrip® card
We encourage you to learn more about the benefits of SmarTrip® by visiting our SmarTrip® web page or by calling 202.637.7000 (TTY 202.638.3780).
We also invite you to view our instructional video below, or if you prefer, you may listen to an audiocast.
Thank you for your cooperation as we transition to a more efficient, paperless transfer system.
