County Transit accepts Metro SmarTrip cards and Mobile Pay for bus fare payment. Don't forget, beginning March 1, 2022, SmarTrip® cards purchased before 2012 will no longer work and must be replaced. For instructions and more information please visit WMATA’s website at: https://www.wmata.com/fares/smartrip/gocard-replacement.cfm?alerts-widget-next-train-all=C13.

Faster, better faregates are making it easier for customers to tap, pay, and ride Metro.

In conjunction with the rollout of the new faregates (and bus fareboxes in late 2022), older SmarTrip cards will be phased out. SmarTrip cards purchased prior to 2012 contain outdated chip technology and won't work with the new faregates.

Beginning March 1, the old farecards will no longer be accepted at fare vending machines in stations, fareboxes on buses, parking facilities and retail locations.
