TRADE- I have an extra Griffith Park Observatory TAP Card to trade.
On Tuesday, September 19th, LADOT posted information about their new TAP card, the Griffith Park Observatory TAP Card, on their Instagram page! They said that the Griffith Park Observatory TAP cards go on sale that day! LADOT has a mobile team that sets up at libraries and farmer's markets so people can buy or reload TAP cards. One time I was at a farmer's market and noticed the mobile team step. I wanted to reload my TAP card, but they were having trouble with their generator, so they asked me to come back in a few minutes until their machine was warmed up. I came back and they told me their generator died! I saw an extension cord at an empty table and asked if they could take the machine to that table. We went to the table and I was able to reload my TAP card. But, damn come on! Make sure your equipment is working when you go to these mobile sites!!
So LADOT was going to be at a library in Boyle Heights on Sept. 19th, the day the Griffith Park TAP cards came out! I went to the library and saw their mobile team. They said they didn't have the Griffith Park TAP cards! Hell, both workers didn't know about the Griffith Park Observatory TAP cards until I told them about it!! WTF?? Get a damn clue LADOT! I mean when you say the new TAP cards go on sale today, get them out at the mobile set ups! LADOT is as lame as Metro when issuing new TAP cards!
I called the next day to complain and the lame excuse I got was that there was a problem getting the TAP cards to the mobile team! WTF?
During the call I wanted to make sure that the Griffith Park Observatory TAP Cards were in stock at their transit store at the LA Mall. They operator reassured me they were. But, I told her, LADOT also said they TAP cards would be at their mobile locations yesterday and they weren't. So, I go to the LADOT transit store and sure enough the beautiful Griffith Park Observatory TAP Cards are available!
I really like the design, and the Griffith Park Observatory is such an iconic view of Los Angeles!
