Travel Tips

• Buy in advance. Be sure to load enough fare value on your SmarTrip card for your entire roundtrip.
• Reminder: Metro no longer accepts paper farecards to enter or exit the system. You can purchase a new SmarTrip card for $2 at any Metrorail station. (If you still have a paper farecard, you can transfer the value to a new SmarTrip card at most Metrorail stations or any Metro sales office. See a station manager for assistance.)

The additional two hours of service is funded through an agreement with event organizers.
