Confirmed TAP PLUS is live (Expo/Sepulveda)
Just used my Citibank Mastercard to go through the turnstile at Expo/Sepulveda and confirmed TAP PLUS is live here. Immediately shows up online as Metro Paygo
Edit For u/metrolosangeles as a field test report (TAP PLUS soft launch testing phase? 5/19/2026):
Expo/Sepulveda to Expo/Crenshaw (E Line eastbound) - read credit card properly, deducted $1.75
Expo/Crenshaw to LAX/MTC (K Line southbound) - read credit card, Metro-to-Metro transfer worked properly, and did not deduct additional fare for transfer
LAX/MTC to Expo/Sepulveda (Culver City Bus 6 northbound) - read credit card, Metro-to-Muni transfer worked properly, and deducted $0.40 transfer fare
Expo/Sepulveda to DTSM (E Line westbound) - read credit card properly, deducted $1.75, TAP at Expo/Sepulveda. Used north exit at DTSM, did TAP to Exit at a green light LCD turnstile, read card and unlocked turnstile. Waited 7-8 minutes for return trip to avoid passback (don't know if that's built in or not)
DTSM to Expo/Sepulveda (E Line eastbound) - used north entrance, right side turnstile was blocked, middle turnstile was showing error message on entrance side (this is the same turnstile used for exiting; exit side was working properly but with green LCD), used the open fan-style ADA gate which was blue LCD, but didn't seem to read credit card. Ended up just going through the gates regardless as fan style ADA was open.
Comments/suggestions: Overall seems to be working at all gates and TAP readers that are blue LCD, the green LCD at DTSM seems to have worked on exit side as TAP to Exit, entry side didn't work at the ADA gate even though it was blue LCD. Showed up on my credit card account online pretty much immediately, faster than TAP transactions showing up on the TAP app which could take about 10-15 mins to show up. OTOH, online credit card transaction just shows LA METRO- PAYGO Los Angeles USA which isn't much helpful in knowing where you got on, which is a feature that I like on TAP card's history which shows which Metro station you entered or which transit agency you used for buses. Would be great it showed more detailed info like that.
