How to Buy a TAP Card

I took a trip to LA today as part of a series of upcoming videos on my channel, and while I was there, I decided to ride on the LA Metro system. The best way to ride Metro is to use a Transit Access Pass, or TAP card which allows you to buy a pass or use stored value to pay for trips on not only Metro, but also many other transit agencies in LA County. In this video, I’ll show you how to buy a TAP card and put stored value on it.

hey, I am just wondering, is there any tap card machine like the one you are using at the lax airport?

[@OctaBus]

How do I get the 7 day pass

[@Carlos-ms8zh]

With the agency 7- day pass is there a limit to riding a bus daily? Or can I ride as many as I want until my 7 days is over?

[@ocbusfan]

Carlos M. Nope, ride as much as you want for 7 days 😉

[@Rome5.0]

How did you buy 7 day pass

[@FernandoGarcia-dg8ml]

If you buy a tap card from the machine, can you keep it or would you have to buy another tap card after using it ?

[@ocbusfan]

You can use the same card and reload it!

Esas tarjetas sirver para el Oc bus?

[@ocbusfan]

Mr Ramos Solamente sirvieran si estas transfiriendo desde un ruta de Metro a un ruta de OC Bus que conectan en el condado de LA, las rutas 1, 29, 30, 38, 42, 50 y 60

Sirven muy bien para limpiarme el trasero 😂

[@alexespinoza2525]

I learned something from this. Thanks a lot.
Also, its 2019 and the TAP card scanner on OCTA's fareboxes is just a sticker, its non existent!

[@ocbusfan]

Alex Espinoza Since OCTA also accepts TAP cards on routes that connect with Metro buses, would passengers just show their cards?

[@alexespinoza2525]

@@ocbusfan For the most part, yeah they do. I honestly have no idea how the cards work lmao though I know for a fact that they're not accepted on the 560 and the 529 in which both connect to Metro buses.

[@ocbusfan]

Alex Espinoza Ironically, the 560 and 529 both respectively connect to Metro Express Routes, 577 and 460.

@@ocbusfan Yup!

[@ThatLassDes2]

Could I use the TAP card for metro micro aswell?

[@thiagoknows3504]
