Metrorail

Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and exit. Up to two children under age five may travel free with a paying customer. Fares are based on when and how far you ride. Stationto-station fares are located on station manager kiosks and farecard machines. Bring small bills because there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to $5 in change (in coins). Farecards and Passes machines accept credit and debit cards. Save 25 per trip by using a SmarTrip card instead of a paper farecard. See the SmarTrip cards section for information on buying a card. Get one day of unlimited Metrorail rides with a One Day Pass. Buy it from a Farecards and Passes machine in Metro stations. Use it after 9:30 a.m. until closing on weekdays, and all day on weekends and federal holidays.

SmarTrip cards
SmarTrip is a plastic farecard that can be reloaded with value and used over and over to pay Metrorail and Metrobus fares and parking fees at Metro-operated lots. SmarTrip cards are sold from dispensing machines at Metrorail stations with a on the system map (excluding Silver Spring). You can also buy a SmarTrip card at over 200 retail locations, or online with a credit card. The price at dispensing machines is $10 ($5 for the card with $5 in value already on it). The price online is $30 ($5 for the card with $25 in value already on it). You can add value to your SmarTrip card at Farecards and Passes machines in Metrorail stations and select retail locations. You can check your registered cards value, see where and when you used it last or report it lost or stolen on our Web site.
