It’s time to Switch!
The monthly paper passes are transitioning to the ClipperSM (formerly TransLink®) card and after 30 years new fare gates will be placed in all the Muni metro stations. The new fare gates will accept only the Clipper (or TransLink) card or a Limited Use Muni Ticket. The Clipper card is a convenient and secure way to manage your Bay Area transportation fares and transfers in an easy-to-use, all-in-one, reloadable card.
