What is more convenient a smart card or 7 day short trip pass to go to DC?

I wll start commuting from Greenbelt Md to Washington DC five times a week. What is the best way to make this commute the least expensive? A 7 day short trip pass or by using a smart card? Thank you for your answers.|||A short trip pass will not get you from Greenbelt to downtown - it is capped at $2.65 per trip. You'll have to figure out for yourself (depending on your destination downtown) whether it is cheaper to get a 7 day unlimited use pass or not.





If you are driving you will at least need a SmartTrip card to pay for parking.





A lot of employers in D.C. offer transit benefits. I would find out if yours is one of them. Commuting costs can really add up!|||Smart Trip card is more convenient. You can take it any where and if you look into it it shows you that you get a better discount if you use smarttrip. But you should really put in your exact location and exact destination on wmata.com go to the trip planner. It should show you the difference between paying cash and what you save with a smart trip card. The website will also give you a little more info/cost on that 7day pass as well. Hope this helped you!
