TAP to board.

Using TAP couldn't be easier. When boarding a Los Angeles County, Metro Bus or other participating municipal transit system bus, simply tap your card on the fare box located at the bus entrance and listen for the beep and look for the message confirming your card's validity. To use your TAP card on Norwalk Transit System (NTS), you must load cash value to your card, and the smart chip inside your TAP card will make sure that only the exact fare is deducted from your balance. For your convenience, you may load other municipal transit system passes on your TAP card, but they are not valid on NTS.

TAP to ride.

Once you've loaded your TAP card with cash value, a pass, or both, it will work on applicable bus and rail lines. If you're a qualified reduced-fare rider with stored cash value loaded onto your TAP card, the system will automatically recognize and deduct only the discounted amount during cash-fare transit.

TAP over and over again.

Once you purchase your durable plastic TAP card, it's yours to keep and replenish each month or as often as you need.
