Does Metro Micro take tap card?

You can pay for your Metro Micro ride by tapping your TAP card on the TAP reader that is available inside the vehicle right when you board. The fare will be deducted from your preloaded balance.



Yes, Metro Micro, which is the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's on-demand rideshare service, is designed to be fully integrated with the regional TAP system. When you book a ride through the Metro Micro app or website, you have the option to pay using your TAP account balance or a stored credit card. If you are using a physical TAP card or a digital version in your phone's wallet, you simply tap the validator inside the Micro vehicle upon boarding, just as you would on a Metro bus or train. One of the biggest advantages of using the TAP card for this service is the integration with Metro's fare capping and transfer rules. This makes it an affordable "first-mile/last-mile" solution for commuters who are transitioning between the localized micro-transit zones and the broader rail and bus network. It is important to ensure your TAP card has enough stored value before boarding, as the drivers do not handle cash and cannot reload cards for you on the spot, maintaining a seamless and contactless boarding process for all passengers.
