SmarTrip
SmarTrip is a contactless smart card in use in Washington, DC, USA. The system was developed by Cubic.
There are a couple of generations of cards:
-
Original cards (issued 1999 - 2012, manufactured until 2010), which don't appear to use a traditional ISO 14443 A/B modulation.
These have a 16 digit serial number starting with
0020, and are no longer valid as of 2022.These might be "Cubic GO CARD" (ISO 14B variant). This is different to the similarly-named Cubic-developed systems in Brisbane and Minneapolis (which use MIFARE Classic).
These cards are unlikely to be readable with common NFC hardware in Android devices.
-
Current cards (issued from 2012) are MIFARE Plus cards in SL3 mode, which is unsupportable.
These have a 16 digit serial number starting with
0167.
News articles indicate that the original cards were no longer manufactured as of 2010-09, and there was a 2-year stockpile. A new supplier came online in 2012-05, which is likely to be the switch to MIFARE Plus cards.
