After #BART opened up direct credit card payments at fare gates, after decades of clumsy #fare payment mgmt features, new generation of mass #transit fare #ClipperCard coming to #BayArea Dec 10th.

Clumsily managed monopolist service provider claims using their new improved Clipper 2.0 card could save service connecting upgraded users money, speed up ridiculous 3 day wait to transfer fare fund$ to card, and ease managing multiple card member accounts...

Today, I picked up my pensioner pass from #ACTransit. One of the benefits of retirement from AC Transit is free bus rides.

To get there, I caught the day’s last #actransit Line 800 to transfer to BART. It was the last AC Transit trip I’ll ever have to pay for (at least for myself). It was on one of the last Van Hool buses still in operation, one of the 60-foot articulated models.

I rode BART to downtown Oakland where the AC Transit office is. I picked up my pass. I also picked up a youth Clipper card for my daughter, who just became old enough to have to pay for transit.

For all you #SFBA folks, has anyone had trouble transferring their virtual clipper cards to a new phone?

Luckily I still have one physical one for guests because both of my virtual ones are not working on new phone #clippercard #ACtransit #SFmuni

For people who use a #clippercard for #bart or #ACtransit or whatever...

Am I reading the fine print right that once I paid online to "add value" onto the card, the reason I can't see if it made it onto the card is because the funds aren't actually added until I tag in?

That seems... ridiculous. So I can't check to see if it worked till I get there and am in a hurry?
