How to Ride for Senior Citizens
Senior Discount
Citizens age 65 and older can ride the ART bus for half price ($1.00).
The yellow Senior SmarTrip card enables seniors (65+) to get discounted fare on ART, Metrobus and Metrorail. It works just like a regular SmarTrip card and fare is automatically deducted when the card is tapped on the fare box. The card is free. To get the card, seniors need to show a valid government issued photo ID with proof of age at either the Metro sales office at Metro Center station (enter at 12th & F Streets) or any Commuter Store.

- Super Senior Taxi (SST) is a subsidized transportation program for Arlington County residents 70 years of age and over.
