In 2017, WMATA issued a generic inaugural ticket with a sleeve featuring Trump’s face.
A WMATA spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “Since 1993, we’ve done a variety of special inauguration-themed greeting cards, with the exception of 2021 because the inauguration is a virtual event due to pandemic.”
To get a Trump transit pass, be sure to add fare (one-way fares vary from $2.25 to $6.75 depending on distance) or purchase a 1-day unlimited pass for $13.50. There will also be a $2 SmarTrip fee, according to WMATA’s site.
Some passengers have already picked up commemorative Trump tickets and listed them transit passes for resale.
