Ever since I heard about being able to use the smartrip on the metro bus I have been patiently waiting for it on the Fairfax connector. No more hording change digging in drawers for enough coins to make up the dollar for the ride home. All I need to do is swipe the same smart card I use on the metro as I enter the bus. It even handles transfers so you don’t need to remember to pick that piece of paper as you rush for your train in the morning.
The only problem is my work is moving out to Dulles on the 15th of June and Loudon country commuter bus doesn’t do smart trip DOH.
