Where to Buy: A Quest for the Card
Online: If you're the type who prefers their pajamas to people-watching, the online Transit Store is your jam. It's like shopping for groceries but way cooler because you're getting a ticket to ride.

In Person: Feeling social? Head to any Metrorail station, Transit Service Center, or one of those mysterious places called "Sales Outlets." It's like a real-life treasure hunt, but with less sweat and more AC.
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.
By Phone: If your thumbs are tired from all that typing, give 'em a break and call. It's like ordering pizza, but instead of pepperoni, you're getting a ticket to ride.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
