Fares
With multiple ways of paying, buying your Muni bus, rail or cable car tickets is easy. And because paying with cash slows the system down, we reward you with a lower fare for paying by other means.
MuniMobile®: The SFMTA’s official ticketing app, MuniMobile lets you buy tickets instantly through a credit/debit card or PayPal account.
Clipper®: Clipper is the all-in-one transit card for the Bay Area. Use your Clipper card on all Bay Area transit systems, including Muni.
Cash: Fares can be paid on surface transportation with any U.S. currency or coin; exact change is required.
Effective August 15, 2021 - anyone under 19 rides free! No proof of payment (Clipper card) required with the exception of Cable Car. San Francisco residents under the age of 19 that utilize Cable Car service for regular travel will be able to request a pass for travel.
Starting on Tuesday, February 23, Muni and Paratransit will be free for those traveling to get vaccinated for COVID-19. This includes trips in both directions. The SFMTA is also providing additional access to taxi service for those who use the Essential Trip Card. Please have your vaccine appointment confirmation or instructions ready in case SFMTA staff asks to see your proof of payment.
