#Transit Thursday Pinterest Board : Show us the Money - 'Fare' Enough?
Click here for the Pinterest board from today’s #TransitThursday topic:
Today we made a Pinterest board and a few cool collages to celebrate transit media! From coast to coast and all over the world we each shared our #TransitThursday pics of our fav fare cards, smart cards, tokens, transfers and passes.These are all pics that you shared of:
- your transit system’s fare media,
- fare media from a system you’ve recently visited and/or
- pics of fare media for systems you want to visit in the future!
Thanks again for your participation in #TransitThursday!
Remember, it’s your participation that makes this weekly celebration possible!!

#TransitThursday - Show us the Money — Fare Enough?
Fare media differs from system to system, city to city, country to country. I don’t know about you, but I love learning about fare media. Go Cards, Charlie Cards, Breeze Cards; magnetic strips, smart cards, tokens; tap & go, slide & pay, drop & pop; proof-of-payment, turn styles, pay-the-conductor — I love it all!
Like comic books and baseball cards from our youth, I admittedly enjoy collecting, trading and sharing fare media. If you were to walk into my office today, you would find a long strip of farecards taped to my bookshelf; fare media I’ve collected over the years from every city I’ve traveled.
Some of you may know, I am getting ready for a big trip overseas. Preparing for that trip has me thinking about transit «go figure». I love to look back at my fare media collection, to see where I’ve traveled, to remember my trips, to recall so many memories on transit! I can’t wait to see and discover new systems. I want to collect new fare media for years to come.
So, think about it…
Where you live may be somewhere someone else would want to visit. Who knows!?
Where do you want to go? What do you want to see? What have you seen and experienced thanks to transit?
Let’s share our fare media and our stories.
So today’s #TransitThursday topic is pretty simple!
Post a pic of your transit fare media with the city/system or post a pic of the fare media of the city/system you’ve recently visited or want to visit
**BUT DON’T FORGET TO USE THE HASHTAG #TransitThursday**
