FYI Metro has raised its fares, so the 5A Metrobus is $3.10 for cash riders (it remains $3 for SmarTrip users), and the transfer from Metrorail rises to $2.20 cash ($2.10 for SmarTrip users). Further, bus tokens and paper passes are being phased out over this year, so riders who frequent mass transit in Washington should look into buying a SmarTrip card.
