2018 Culver City Bus 90th Anniversary

While buying the Culver City 100 TAP card, I found out in March of 2018, they were selling the 90 years of the Culver City Bus.  So, I pick this up too.

The design is ok, nothing great.  But, again I got to add to my TAP card collection!

2017 Culver City 100

The 2017 Culver City 100 TAP card was issued by the city of Culver City to celebrate it's centennial!  They actually came out in December of 2016.  I found out about this tap card while looking at social media.  I was worried that these cards were sold out.  But, luckily, I was able to buy this tap card!

The design is kind of boring.  But, I added another tap card to my collection.

2018 Ride With Pride TAP Card

Metro's Propaganda machine, The Source, said that the 2018 Ride With Pride TAP Cards would be released on May 16, 2018.  I take everything by Metro with a grain of salt.  Yes, in 2018 the release of the TAP Cards are much better than the disaster that happen for the release of 2017 Ride With Pride TAP Cards.  But, yet again, Metro has learned from it's past mistakes and the 2018 Ride With Pride TAP Cards were available by the date listed in The Source!

I went to Willow Station, saw the sticker for this TAP Card, and bought the TAP Cards without any problems.  Well, except for all the panhandlers who kept asking for money, despite the fact that there were tons of Metro police at the station!

Anyways, this year's version of the Ride With Pride TAP Cards are boring.  Yet, another TAP Card with black, making three out of four TAP Cards released in 2018 that has black as a main color.  25th Anniversary Red Line and Happy 25th Birthday Metro, are the other two that use black as their main color.  The 2017 Ride With Pride TAP Cards were much better!!
