Metro plans to stop charging riders for SmarTrip cards next year as part of the transit system’s plans to encourage more riders to pay their fares electronically. Passengers will also be able to get the cards at supermarkets next year. Currently, passengers must pay $5 for a card and can only buy them at Metro customer-service centers, at rail stations with parking lots or via Metro’s Web site. There are about 1.4 million SmarTrip cards in use, according to the transit agency.
