Where is my TAP card accepted?
Right here on Foothill Transit! But TAP has already been up and running at a few other transit agencies – Los Angeles Metro and Culver CityBus, with LADOT, Santa Clarita Transit, and Montebello Bus Lines coming on line shortly.
What if I don't tap my card on the TAP target?
Every time you ride, you must tap your card to pay your fare. Foothill Transit fare inspectors will have special card readers that tell them if you've tapped or not, so you may be cited for fare evasion if you fail to tap.
How long will my TAP card last?
The TAP card itself is designed to last about three years. Eventually, you'll need a replacement card – nothing lasts forever – but the technology just keeps going and going. Think of all the paper that saves!
How should I care for my TAP card?
The TAP card is more durable than the older, paper passes. But let's not get carried away. Treat your TAP card like you would any credit or debit card – don't bend, puncture, wash, or leave the card in the sun.
Can my card demagnetize in my wallet if it is next to my credit cards?
The TAP card is one sturdy little piece of fare. You can keep your TAP card with your other credit cards without fear of losing anything.
