In August of 2008, MBL joined the Los Angeles County Municipal Operator’s TAP program and replaced the fare boxes onboard the MBL fleet with fare media designed with the TAP technology. TAP allows patrons to load cash value or a fare product on a chip enabled smart card. Each time patrons board and tap their card on the fare box; the correct fare is deducted or recorded as payment.

All Metro passes and stored value are now sold on TAP, a durable plastic card you can use again and again. It’s eco-friendly, because using TAP eliminates tons of disposable paper passes and stamps.

Each TAP card has an electronic chip inside; just load the type of pass and stored value you want on your card, and the chip remembers it. Then you simply tap your card each time you board, and the bus farebox or rail validator looks for valid pass first. If no valid pass is found it will deduct from your stored value.
