The Clipper card is a type of electronic fare payment card used for public transportation in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was introduced in 2002 as a replacement for the various paper tickets and passes previously used by the different transit agencies in the region. The Clipper card can be used on a wide variety of transit systems in the Bay Area, including buses, light rail, ferries, and cable cars. It allows riders to easily switch between different types of transit without having to buy separate tickets each time.
To use a Clipper card, riders simply need to load it with value or a pass and then tap it on a card reader when boarding a bus or entering a train station. The fare is automatically deducted from the card's balance. Clipper cards can be purchased and loaded with value at a variety of locations, including transit agency ticket offices, retail outlets, and online.
The Clipper card has been widely adopted by Bay Area transit riders and is considered a success in terms of convenience and cost savings. It is managed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), a regional government agency.
