WASHINGTON -- The pandas are out. Obama is in.

Metro this week is loading its farecard machines with farecards that feature President-elect Barack Obama.

The new farecards replace the cards that have the two pandas on the front. But don't worry. The pandas will be back when Metro runs out of the five million Obama cards it's had printed.

Metro says its vending machines on the Green Line and several and Yellow Line stations already have the commemorative cards and special one-day passes for the inauguration.

The rest of the machines will be stocked by the end of the week.

Metro is encouraging you to buy the Commemorative Inauguration One-Day Passes in vending machines for $7.80 in advance of the inauguration.

You also can get the passes through Metro's Web site for $10, which includes a handling fee.

The one-day passes are valid until the day you use them.

Metro is encouraging people to sign up for its special e-alerts for the inauguration.
