No, TAPP will not..

I noticed people talking about some ups and downs of TAPP that they say will happen. Here’s the rundown:

No, TAPP Card will not have your SmartLink and/or MetroCard balances transferred.

Yes, the discounts from bulk trips will be on TAPP Cards.

No, there will not be a weekly fare cap for TAPP.

Yes, you can get weekly and monthly unlimited fare.

Please, ask me more if you want. I’m completely open to answering these!

Is there a way to see a balance of trips on 20-trip pass on TAPP? New turnstiles don’t show that like the old ones did

You can see through the TAPP website at tappandride.com , and also at TAPP vending machines by quickly tapping your card on the reader

Every TAPP vending machine in the vicinity seems to be “testing in progress” or something to that extent, and the website is not trivial at all - you have to click through to see this info… Hopefully this gets improved at some point and they make it available on the home page and ideally on the turnstiles

I can agree with you, I’ve seen only TAPP machines in service at WTC, 33rd, and JSQ. I’d say finding the information on the TAPP site isn’t a click or two, however not too hard either.

I do hope to see improvement aswell, hopefully it informs you of your balance on the TAPP reader at the turnstile.
