Get Where You’re Going with Clipper® on Your Phone

September is Transit Month, and there will be activities all throughout the Bay Area to celebrate. The best way to get on board is by using Clipper® on your phone.

Join the Transit CEO Ride-Along on Friday, September 29 as they navigate the South Bay and answer your questions about the current and future state of Bay Area transit .

Your ticket to the party is Clipper: Set up your smartphone with either Apple Pay or Google Pay. Clipper will waive the standard $3 new-card fee for customers who choose Clipper on their phone. (Alternately, you can purchase a new plastic Clipper card, but a $3 fee will be charged.)

Clipper works on all 27 of the Bay Area’s transit agencies – train, bus and ferry – and you can also use it to access Bay Wheels bike share, BikeLink bike lockers and BART daily fee parking.

Conveniently pre-load Clipper funds on your mobile phone: Adding a Clipper card to Google Pay, to an Apple iPhone 8 or later, or to an Apple Watch Series 3 or later is easy. Apple customers can add the Clipper card directly through Apple Wallet and load cash value with Apple Pay anytime, anywhere. Customers with Android system phones running Android 5 or later similarly can add the Clipper card directly through Google Pay and load cash value anytime, anywhere.
