Just in case you were wondering what the rarest trading card around is…we may have the answer: A VTA Trading Card!

Starting this week, selected VTA bus and train operators have two limited edition trading cards to hand out to passengers. And they’re free! 

The cards feature the photographic art of VTA bus operator Danny Quintana, with five bus photos and five light rail train photos. On the back, each card features an interesting little factoid about public transit, along with helpful information about VTA. You can collect all ten to win prizes! Two new cards will be distributed each month. (More info on how to win prizes for collecting coming soon). 

This week, you can find trading cards from certain drivers on routes 500, 523, 66, 52, 40, and 21.  And certain light rail operators will have them as well.  You just have to ask! Eventually, they will also be available at VTA Customer Service Centers at 55 w. Santa Clara Street, or 3331 North First Street, San Jose. 

The cards released this week feature the VTA light rail train in front of Levi’s Stadium and a VTA bus in a crystal ball.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the other cards to come.
