Can I use my WMATA fare card on other transit systems?
No, you cannot use your WMATA fare card on other transit systems. The WMATA fare card, also known as the SmarTrip card, is specifically designed for use on Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) services, including Metrorail, Metrobus, and regional bus systems such as DC Circulator and Ride On. It cannot be used on other transit systems outside the WMATA network, such as MARC, VRE, or local suburban buses. However, the SmarTrip card can be used on select participating regional transit partners, including ART, CUE, DASH, Fairfax Connector, Loudoun County Transit, and more. It is always recommended to check with the specific transit agency for their acceptance policies and any applicable transfer or discounted rates.
