THE TAP CARD COMETH
On September 12, 205 The Press-Telegram reported that starting next spring the Long Beach Transit "will require the use of (a) TAP card". The TAP card is a preloaded cash card, with a computer chip, that will have the ride purchase deducted automatically as bus riders swipe their cards to transfer from bus-to-bus.

Twenty-four more bus agencies will also be switching over to the TAP card program. When all bus agencies are fully transitioned into TAP "hand punched, paper transfer" will be eliminated. This is to help avoid passengers paying twice by accident.
