The Benefits of TAP  
   
  Welcome to the world of TAP, where purchasing a pass and riding Metro just got much simpler. The TAP card is a reusable fare payment card that can be reloaded again and again with bus/rail passes or stored value to provide our passengers with seamless travel throughout Los Angeles County.

The following are just a few of the advantages that TAP offers our customers:

  
   
  •
TAP offers quicker boardings on Metro buses
  TAP Cards  
•
TAP offers "balance protection" if a card is lost or stolen
•
TAP is secure as stolen passes can be quickly hot listed (disabled)
•
TAP can be loaded at all Metro rail stations on the ticket vending machines to avoid standing in line at pass sales outlets
•
TAP can be loaded on-line at TAPTOGO.NET or by calling 1.866.TAPTOGO
•
TAP can be autoloaded each month without having to make a phone call or visit the Web site if the customer sets up this service in advance at TAPTOGO.NET or by calling 1.866.TAPTOGO
•
TAP cards will soon allow seamless travel throughout the region on Metro and Municipal operators using EZ passes or by using stored value
•
TAP is a “green” alternative to a paper pass, as the same pass can be used month after month rather than being discarded like a paper pass
 
 
TAP – Smart, Simple, Secure  
 
•
SMART – It knows if a customer has a valid pass or enough money on the card  
•
SIMPLE – Customers just tap the farebox and GO  
•
SECURE – If a TAP card is lost or stolen, the pass can be replaced with balance intact.
