To promote use of the new transit access passes, or TAP cards, Metro will give them to customers when they buy a $5 day pass until April 11.
After that, the plastic cards will cost $2.
The cards are rechargeable and will be sold at vending machines.
Coins and bills will still be accepted on buses and trains.
