ReadySTATION, a self-service kiosk instantly issues an activated prepaid ReadyCARD, as well as allows consumers to [insert cash to] reload their ReadyCARD or check account balances.

Up to $500 in value can be added at the kiosks.  

The reloadable stored value cards have a $5/month maintenance fee.  There is a Mastercard prepaid card that, when used only for paying for mass transit in L.A., carries no fee.

Currently, ReadySTATION kiosks are available in the following cities:
  • Los Angeles
  • Minneapolis / St. Paul
 The kiosk provider's website shows another ten cities so presumably they are the next locations where service will be rolled out.
