For 2019- Metro released them at the West Hollywood Pride Parade. You had a buy something from their popup store, and you got a free Ride With Pride TAP Card. So, I went to West Hollywood, found the Metro popup store, bought something and got the TAP Card. But, the lady who was there, was just clueless. I asked just to make sure they still had the TAP Cards. She kept saying they will be sold at the machines later this month. I then I told her I want to make sure you had the TAP card right now. She finally got a damn clue, and figured it out, and said they had the TAP card. I was only going to buy something if they had the TAP Cards.
Update June 26, 2019
The Source release information, on June 21st, about the Ride With Pride TAP Cards being released at stations starting Monday June 24 to Wednesday June 26. On Monday June 24th, I went to Long Beach using the bus shuttle from 7th & Metro to downtown Long Beach. The northern portion of the Blue Line is closed for renovations. The express bus I took was awesome!! While we waited a bit outside 7th & Metro, once we got rolling it got to Long Beach quickly. On they way back I noticed at the Pacific Station they had the Ride With Pride TAP Cards. I got off the train and bought the TAP cards without any issues. The biggest issue is taking the train and bus from Long Beach back to 7th & Metro. It took about two hours, using the local shuttle that stopped at a ton of stations from the Compton Station to 7th & Metro. Which means you have to pay additional fare if you want to transfer, if it is more than two hours!
I really like this TAP Card. A very clean design!
