Clipper® makes it easy to get to the people and places you love in the Bay Area – simply tag and go on one of the region’s 20+ transit agencies. 

More than a million people use Clipper, and one in four have added Clipper to their phones for even faster boarding. (Using Clipper on your phone couldn’t be easier - just add Clipper to your Apple or Google Wallet, and you’re ready to ride.)

For most residents, the classic blue Clipper card is just what you need. Add value online, at select retail locations or at ticket machines in transit stations all over the Bay: Find locations here. Or set up auto-reload online with a credit card, debit card or bank account.

Some Bay Area residents qualify for discounts, making it even easier to get around on public transit. (And yes, those discounts work with Clipper on your phone.)
