Bike Share & Red Line 25th Anniversary TAP Cards

Finally!!  I get a TAP card I've been looking for!!

I go to the Night on Broadway on January 27, 2018.  Metro Bike Share has two displays trying to people to sign up for the bike share.  The first one I see is near the Grand Central Market.  I see the TAP cards on the table, but the guy says you have to register online before getting a TAP card.  I said forget that!  So, I continue my tour of the great old theaters along Broadway.  Towards the end of the Night on Broadway route, about 9th and Broadway, there is another Metro Bike Share display.  I ask about the TAP card and the guy says you can have one!  So I took it!  He told me about their promotion and how the bike share works.

I'm assuming these Bike Share TAP cards came out when the Bike Share program came in, which was back in 2016.  I don't know when that was, and frankly I don't care, because I won't use the bike share!

Now, taking the Metro on the way back, Metro has their customer service team and I always ask what design of TAP cards they are selling.  The lady said just the regular blue TAP cards.  But, she said on Monday, January 29, 2018 they will release the 25th Anniversary of the Red Line TAP Cards!  As I write this post, about 9am on January 28th, there is still nothing on The Source- Metro's propaganda machine.  Anyways, I will be on the lookout for the new Red Line 25th Anniversary TAP Cards!!

Update:

January 29, 2018.  See my post about the release of the Red Line 25th Anniversary TAP Cards , which were in fact released on, Monday, January 29, 2018, at stations along the Red Line!
