How TransLink Works


The TransLink card has been rebranded and renamed,
and is now called the Clipper card. A Clipper card works
just the same way as a TransLink card, and if you
already have a TransLink card, it will continue to work
as it always has.

Clipper (formerly called TransLink) can make your daily commute more convenient, and more secure. A Clipper card keeps track of its value and when you use it, automatically deducts the correct fare (including transfers and discounts). With a Clipper or a TransLink card, you can:

  • Stop carrying multiple forms of payment (exact change, tickets, or passes)
  • Automatically add value when your card balance is low, with the Autoload feature
  • Replace registered cards and restore the card's balance for a small fee, if your card is lost, damaged, or stolen
  • Get on the bus faster

Currently, Clipper and TransLinkc cards can be used by adult, youth and RTC riders on BART, Muni, CalTrain and Golden Gate Transit and Ferry (and on the Dumbarton Express.)
