About: SmarTrip

An Entity of Type: SmartCard113377003, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

SmarTrip is a contactless stored-value smart card payment system managed by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) uses a compatible payment system called CharmCard. A reciprocity agreement between the MTA and WMATA allows either card to be used for travel on any of the participating transit systems in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area. Unlike traditional paper farecards or bus passes, SmarTrip/CharmCard is designed to be permanent and reloadable; the term "SmarTrip" may refer to both payment systems unless otherwise noted.

  • SmarTrip is a contactless stored-value smart card payment system managed by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) uses a compatible payment system called CharmCard. A reciprocity agreement between the MTA and WMATA allows either card to be used for travel on any of the participating transit systems in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area. Unlike traditional paper farecards or bus passes, SmarTrip/CharmCard is designed to be permanent and reloadable; the term "SmarTrip" may refer to both payment systems unless otherwise noted. WMATA began using SmarTrip for payment on Metrorail in 1999 followed shortly by Metrobus and Metro parking lots. It was later extended to other public transit systems throughout the region. Although WMATA initially drew criticism due to the limited number of SmarTrip sales locations, distribution has expanded to local convenience stores and supermarkets. By late 2012 all Metrorail stations were equipped with SmarTrip vending machines. In October 2010, WMATA announced that it was working on a replacement card system because the company that makes SmarTrip cards had stopped producing the existing generation. A new generation of the card with modernized chip technology was launched in 2012. Beginning in 2021, the first-generation SmarTrip cards are being phased out as new faregates are installed that do not support the earlier technology. In 2014, WMATA began a pilot program with Accenture to revamp the SmarTrip payments, with the goal of an open payment system working with contactless credit cards, government IDs, new transit cards, and more. However, the pilot was terminated and the full proposal was cancelled due to lower-than-expected mobile payment adoption and budget constraints. Instead, in 2018, WMATA announced that contactless mobile payments would be coming to Metro, this time through a closed system that emulates the physical smart card and works with current fare collection equipment. The reduced scope of the project lowered costs dramatically, while constraining users to loading a balance on a SmarTrip account instead of paying directly from a credit/debit card. Mobile payments through Apple Pay were added in 2020, with Google Pay support following in 2021. Since March 6, 2016, SmarTrip cards are the only payment method accepted on Metrorail; paper farecards are no longer valid. (en)
  • SmarTrip是一個非接觸式儲值智能卡支付系統,由華盛頓都會區交通局管理。則使用可互相兼容的支付系統,稱為魅力卡(CharmCard)。兩者達成協議,兩者的卡片皆可在彼此的系統使用。與傳統的紙質車票或巴士票不同,SmarTrip/CharmCard的設計是永久和可加值的,「SmarTrip」一詞除有所指明外可同時指兩個支付系統。 華盛頓都會交通局自1999年起在華盛頓地鐵啟用SmarTrip,之後再在Metrobus和泊車位啟用,後來進一步擴展至其他公共交通皆可用。起初交通局限制SmarTrip銷售位置招來批評,因此後來將銷售點擴展至便利店和超市。到了2012年末所有華盛頓地鐵車站都已設有SmarTrip售票機。 2010年10月,由於製作SmarTrip卡的公司結業,交通局宣佈將研究替代系統,不過最終交通局找到另一生產商制作新卡片,直至引入新支付系統。 自2016年3月6日起,SmarTrip卡成為華盛頓地鐵唯一的支付方法,不再支持紙質車票。 (zh)
