Starting August 20, BART riders can use credit or debit cards directly for rides, eliminating the need for Clipper Cards. This capability is initially limited to BART and is part of a gradual rollout across the entire Clipper Card system within the Bay Area. The rollout was delayed due to technical difficulties, and officials opted for a phased approach to mitigate any initial issues. Only chip-enabled cards will be accepted, and users are advised to tap their cards directly instead of waving their wallets to prevent interference.
The transition to allowing credit and debit card payments for BART rides marks a significant advancement in the Clipper Card system, aiming to enhance user convenience.
Officials at the Bay Area's Metropolitan Transportation Commission noted that the rollout is initially limited to BART to address any potential technical issues.
