WMATA has launched a contactless payment system for Metro fares in collaboration with several partners, enabling riders to tap their credit or debit cards directly at fare gates. Announced at the Dulles Airport station, the system accommodates popular card brands and mobile wallets. It aims to streamline travel for sports fans heading to local games by eliminating the need for traditional fare machines or SmarTrip cards. However, users must tap in and out with the same card, and each person needs their own card. This service is now operational across all 98 Metro stations in the DC area.
WMATA announced a new option for Metro fares, allowing riders to pay using contactless cards or mobile wallets at all stations.
The new payment option simplifies fare payments for sports fans, letting them bypass machines and use their own contactless cards for travel.
