"Clipper, the electronic fare-payment system accepted by all of the Bay Area's approximately two dozen transportation agencies, is rolling out new features this month - designed to save riders money and modernize how they pay for transit. "Next-generation Clipper" arrives Tuesday, with perks like discounted transfers, the option to pay with a contactless credit or debit card and instant availability of funds added to accounts."
"Paying with contactless credit or debit card Bay Area transit riders have been able to use a chip-enabled credit or debit card to pay for BART since August, but beginning Tuesday, all Bay Area transit agencies that accept Clipper (AC Transit, Caltrain, Golden Gate Ferry, Golden Gate Transit, VTA, the list goes on ...) will now also accept chip-enabled credit or debit cards as a form of payment - as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile."
Next-generation Clipper launches with features intended to save riders money and modernize payments. Added funds become available immediately regardless of top-up method, eliminating multi-day delays for online or app reloads. All Bay Area transit agencies that accept Clipper will take chip-enabled credit and debit cards, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices. Transfers between agencies receive a discount up to $2.85 on the second and any subsequent rides within two hours, lowering costs when switching systems. An example reduces a SolTrans-to-BART fare by $2.85. New family accounts will let users manage multiple registered cards.
