Why is TAP better?
For starters, your durable plastic TAP card is more secure. It contains a smart chip that makes it possible to get free balance protection. Another advantage of using a TAP card is that it always deducts only the exact fare amount – you never have to scramble for exact change or overpay to board. The technology behind the TAP card also makes it easier to connect with other municipal transit systems. Someday soon, your TAP card will entitle you to more than a convenient way to pay your bus or rail fare.
