No. Each person must have their own, unique Discount GoPass® Tap card.
If you tap your card at the reader and see a yellow circle on the screen with the words "Low Card Balance," it means you have enough money for that trip - but you need to add funds before the next one.
If you see a red circle with an "X" and the words "Load Funds," then you do not have enough money in your account for the trip. You can still buy a Reduced Local Pass at the bus farebox or ticket vending machine (TVM). Your Discount GoPass® Tap card will serve as your reduced-fare photo ID.
On trains, fare enforcement officers have handheld devices to verify that you tapped your card at the card reader prior to boarding.
