[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate Metro because the add-fare machines don't take credit cards or $20s. If you get stuck, their advice is to get change from another passenger. No real business would operate this way.[/quote]

If you're using a Smart Trip card it will let you ride on a deficit and always lets you exit the system.  The farecard machines let you use credit cards and $20 bills; only the Exit Fare doesn't.   If you're using a paper fare card you don't ride Metro much anyway so what are you complaining about?  Get a Smart Trip card.[/quote]

There are reasons to use the paper cards. Again, no real business would offer paper and then limit you in this way.[/quote]

Such as?  [/quote]

Such as you can keep them in places where a hard card doesn't work and you can have multiple ones with small values and it doesn't matter if you lose them.

Metrocheck programs through employers pay you in paper cards. You can add them to Smart Trips if you want to but it works better for me to have a $5 card stashed in lots of different pockets. I don't always know when I'm going to chose to take Metro over another option.[/quote]
