Metro is about to announce an long list of places where you can buy AND LOAD SmarTrip cards using installed machines. Previously, you could only purchase cards with no value* and then add value at a train station. No longer.
*Correction: Metro now says the $10 cards have been available since Dec. ($5 for the card, $5 value). Thanks "emmzee" for the heads up. The add value terminals are new, Metro says.
You've been able to buy SmarTrip cards at CVS's for the normal $10 - $5 for the card and $5 value on the card - for 5 months now: http://www.wmata.com/about_metro/news/PressReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=2375. You've also been able to add value at the stores.
Over 700,000 of you take Metro every day. Whether it's a simple tweet from the front lines, a funny photo or story or something more substantial, tell us. Got an idea of something we should do? Let us know. More than half of this blog has been written by riders just like you.
