Metro riders can now add a SmarTrip card to iPhone and Apple Watch, and simply hold their device near the card reader to pay at all 91 Metrorail stations in DC, Maryland and Virginia, all Metro parking garages and lots, all Metrobus routes, and all regional bus providers, including ART, DASH, Fairfax Connector, Cue, Ride On, TheBus, Circulator, Loudoun County Transit, and OmniRide.
According to Metro, the new digital SmarTrip card was launched this week to provide riders a “touch-free” experience and a safer way to pay in the backdrop of Covid-19. Riders can easily view and reload their stored value balance, passes and SmartBenefits in Apple Wallet.
We are excited to deliver a new level of convenience and simplicity for our customers. If you have an iPhone or Apple Watch, you already have everything you need to simply tap and go. In every step in the customer journey, SmarTrip on iPhone and Apple Watch makes it simpler, easier, faster, safer… just better.– Metro General Manager/CEO Paul J. Wiedefeld
