MTA Machine is Running Again, TAP Cards Are Available

News | 26. Jan, 2010 by David Ysais | 14 Comments

As of 3:30pm on Tuesday, January 26th, a new TAP card machine was delivered to the Trade Tech Business Office. After some tests, it appears the machine is working fine, and will allow students to purchase and load new TAP cards for the Spring semester. The TAP cards allow any full-time student to ride the Metro system (buses and trains) between February 8th and June 3rd. If a full-time student turns in their old card, the cost is $15 for the new card. If a student does not have the old card or is purchasing a card for the first time, the cost is $20. We encourage all full-time students to take advantage of this transit value.

      You must stand in line at the Business Office and show proof that you are a full-time student this semester.

    I am enrolled in 12 credits or more and would like to purchase a new TAP card for $20; does purchasing a card allow me to ride the metro free of charge? How does this work?

      I believe we have figured out our problems and the TAP card machine is running again.

      No, you must purchase at your own college.
