Metro is reminding customers today that it will close its sales office at the Western Bus Garage, located at 5230 Wisconsin Avenue NW, on Sunday, August 23. Three other bus garage sales offices, at Landover, Four Mile Run, and Royal Street in Alexandria, were also closed at the end of July. This is surely one of the things WMATA had in mind when it struck a deal with retailers like Giant and CVS to sell and refill SmarTrip cards at their stores. WMATA is encouraging customers who used these sales office locations to start purchasing their fare cards and SmarTrips at nearby commuter stores and retail locations.
