"You'll now be able to do contactless credit and debit card payments on all Bay Area transit agencies. Also, if you use your Clipper Card, you can get discounted and free transfers between agencies. Riders will only be charged full fare for the first agency they use and if they transfer to a different agency, they will get a discount up to $2.85. If the fare of your next ride is below that, your ride would be free."
"Clipper says their next-generation changes to a cloud-based system will make it easier and cheaper for riders. Starting Wednesday, each of the nearly two dozen Bay Area transit agencies is beginning to implement the "Tap-and-Ride" change. The transition could take up to 12 weeks to complete.

Contactless credit and debit card payments are now accepted across all Bay Area transit agencies. Clipper Cards offer discounted or free transfers between agencies, charging full fare only for the first agency and providing up to $2.85 off subsequent fares, potentially making transfers free. A next-generation cloud-based Clipper system supports the change and introduces Tap-and-Ride across nearly two dozen agencies over a transition of up to 12 weeks. Features include fare capping on some agencies, family management of multiple registered Clipper Cards via the app, eliminated wait time for value loading, and improved auto-reload.
