  2. I hope they are. Was at Canoga Station.
    Anna when you mean end of business for Dec 4th what time do you mean?

    • Hi Ali,

      Sorry for any confusion, ‘close of business’ was what I was told by TAP staff, which I take to mean by 5 p.m. tomorrow. However, if you want to err on the side of caution, you could check Wednesday morning instead. Each station list will have at least 1000 cards available, so they won’t run out super quick! 🙂

      Hope that helps!

  3. Okay, I acknowledge the funny LA-centric “joke” implied by the snow-persons taking a dip in the Pacific depicted on the “holiday” TAP card. However, given all of history’s artworks, starting with the cave-paintings up to the $90 million David Hockney, the “holiday” TAP card still makes a strong case for better art instruction in our schools. That said, I think the TAP card art is possibly more genuine than the Hockney!

    • Hi Horacio,

      Depending on which promotional card you’re looking for, they are likely sold out.

      Thank you,

    • There is still a Veteran’s Day card sticker on one of the machines at the 1st St end of the Little Tokyo Gold Line station. (The Temple St end has the “snowman” card.)
