2017 I Love Latino LA TAP Card

I bought the 2014, 2015, and 2016 I Love Latino LA TAP cards last year for $20 for all three.  They had the 2017 I Love Latino LA TAP card, but they were charging $20 for just that one card.  So, I declined.  Fast forward about a year.  I decided to see if I Love Latino LA were going to produce a 2018 TAP card.  I called their office and asked if they still had the 2017 TAP card.  They said yes, and it was now $10!!  So, I went over and bought the TAP card.

It's an interesting design.  I'm not a big fan of the design, but I'm always glad to add another TAP card to my collection!!

I Love Latino LA TAP Cards

October 16, 2017- I was finally about to track down and buy the I Love Latino LA TAP Cards.    The grey downtown LA was issued in 2014.  The purple downtown LA was issued in 2015.  The white box TAP card was issued in 2016.

I found out about the 2014, 2015, and 2016 I Love Latino LA TAP Cards on the Latino Heritage Instagram page.  Then a couple months back, they had a picture of the 2017 Latino Heritage TAP card on their Instagram page, but they didn't have any information about to buy the TAP card.

Last week I went to the Latino Heritage LA website and found a phone number to call.  The lady who answered the phone was very helpful.  She told me the 2014, 2015, and 2016 TAP Cards are still available, all three for $20!  Each TAP Card is suppose to have $1.75 of stored value loaded on them.  But, I didn't have time to go to a station and check.  But, the TAP cards have a little known thing about them.  If a TAP card isn't used for 18 months, they will take out $1 as a service charge!!!

They will mail them or you can pick them up at the Latino Heritage LA office.  The 2017 Latino Heritage LA TAP Cards are $20!  Yes, $20, but they do have $1.75 of stored value loaded on the TAP cards.  I just think that is too much to spend, so I passed.
