LinkLinks WAMU: D.C. Schools Don’t Have Enough Transit Cards For Kids. The City Says It’s Not A Shortage. By Editor On Sep 27, 2018 55 Share Public school officials in D.C. have underestimated the demand for new SmartTrip cards for students, which could leave many kids stranded at Metro stations and bus stops next week. Starting Monday, students will no longer be able to use their D.C. One Cards — a type of city-issued identification — to ride Metrobus, Metrorail and the D.C. Circulator free of charge. Instead, they’ll need special Kids Ride Free SmarTrip cards, which are distributed by District officials and school leaders. The District made the change to the SmarTrip cards because the D.C. One Cards were not originally designed to be used as transit cards.
