All Senior TAP Workshops are cancelled until further notice!
Older adults can ride Big Blue Bus (BBB) for just $0.50 with a Senior TAP card! The card allows those age 62 and older to receive reduced fares on BBB, as well as Metro Bus and Rail, and other TAP participating agencies.
How can I receive a Senior TAP Card?
To receive a Senior TAP Card, eligible older adults must complete and submit an application. BBB and Metro have partnered to make the application process simple! They host monthly workshops to assist older adults with applying for a Senior TAP Card.
During the workshop, older adults learn how to use a TAP card, and discover popular destinations in the region that are easily accessible by public transit, with use of the card.
Upcoming Workshops
Monthly workshops are held at the Ken Edwards Center on the first Wednesday of every month (with the exception of December).
All workshops begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. Eligible applicants only need to bring a valid photo ID (e.g. Driver's License, State ID, Passport).
For more information, please call Big Blue Bus Customer Service at (310) 451-5444, or visit Blue: The Transit Store.
