Obama's Mug on D.C. Subway Cards for Inauguration
@ 3:22 pm by Walter Alarkon



The subway system in Washington, D.C., is making fare cards featuring President-elect Barack Obama's image to commemorate his inauguration as the 44th president.

SmarTrip cards with Obama's smiling face will be available in January, Metro spokesman Stephen Taubenkibel told DCist. Regular fare cards marking the Jan. 20 inauguration will be available in late December.

Images of the Obama card were shown at a recent Metro Board of Directors meeting. See the mock-up below, first posted on DCist.

4. Very cool

I heard they're charging $5 more for the cards but Metro needs all the money it can get. I'm still excited to see Barack being called the 44th President. He's already been added to the Presidential timeline at the National Museum of American history as well. It's very cool.
