Metro has minted 10,000 of the cards, and they are only available at a few stations, not online.

The non-profit is reaching out to visitors who were in town for this weekend’s events.

A Metro station manager allegedly stole paper fare cards from riders with insufficient funds and transferred them to SmarTrip cards that were sold for profit.

Metro is preparing for the January 21 presidential inauguration, and that includes readying designs for commemorative SmarTrip cards bearing the face of the eventual victor.
