The Clipper card system experienced a significant outage on Tuesday morning around 7 am, impacting multiple transit agencies including BART, Muni, and Caltrain. An alert was released informing customers of the situation and advising them to use alternative payment methods. To prevent long lines, BART left fare gates open allowing free rides. Caltrain mentioned efforts to quickly resolve the issue, while SFMTA also announced open fare gates for Muni trains until the outage was addressed. The cause of the outage remains unknown.
The Clipper system is experiencing an outage on all operators this morning. Please be prepared to pay your fare with another form of payment if required by your transit agency.
Caltrain subsequently posted that it was working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
BART fare gates were mostly being left open in order to avoid long lines and confusion, and riders were able to ride trains for free without tagging in and out.
SFMTA also posted at 7:55 am that, for Muni trains, fare gates within the Market Street & Central subways will be open until the issue is resolved.
