In 2017, WMATA issued a generic inauguration card with a sleeve featuring Trump’s face.
A spokesperson for WMATA told Fox News Digital: “We have created several special edition inauguration-themed cards since 1993, with the exception of 2021 because the inauguration was a virtual event due to the pandemic.”
To get the Trump transit card, you’ll need to add a fare (one-way fares range from $2.25 to $6.75, depending on distance) or buy an unlimited 1-day pass for $13.50. According to WMATA’s site, you will also be charged a $2 SmartTrip fee.
Some travelers have already taken the Trump memorial cards and lined them up transit passes for resale.
