Metro riders now can put more value on their SmarTrip farecards at some CVS drugstores and Giant Food groceries, giving them more options as the plastic farecards become the dominant way of paying for local transit rides.
The transit agency said Tuesday that 106 CVS stores began offering the new portable fare machines in April, then Giant added them to eight stores in a trial phase. The supermarket chain may expand the service to 42 more stores later this summer if the pilot succeeds, according to the transit service.
