Commemorative Trump transit cards released by DC Metro ahead of inauguration

As Americans flock to the nation's capital for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) has released a special public transportation card to honor the event.

The "Commemorative Inauguration SmarTrip Card" is a rechargeable farecard that can hold up to $300 in stored value for the city's public transportation, according to WMATA's website.

Participating Metro stations around the DMV area will be selling the cards while supplies last. 

WMATA noted that the cards are sold out at the Metro Center station.

In 2017, WMATA issued a generic inauguration card with a sleeve bearing Trump's face.

On eBay, some people have the card listed for around $20, while one seller has listed a single card with a starting bid of $450 or "Best Offer."

Adding, "The card is perfect for those interested in political memorabilia and historical collections. It is a tangible reminder of the President's tenure and the impact he had on the United States."

Other Trump cards are listed with starting bids at $150 and $300.

Barack Obama Metro cards from 2009 Inauguration Day are also listed on eBay auctions - with prices ranging from $500 to $1,000.

Kristin Petersen, a travel adviser at Travelmation, told Fox News Digital visitors can stay at destinations that are located outside the district on Metro stops.

She added, "The trains will be running but definitely check the schedule since they could change for special events like the inauguration."
