San Francisco public transit officials promise the long-awaited launch of open-loop payments–confined for now to one transit operator, metro-rail provider BART–will happen tomorrow after substantial delays. The project is part of a $400 million-plus next-generation Clipper project that will soon enter its seventh year.
An announcement today by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission planning agency, MTC, promised that nearly two dozen other Bay Area transit agencies that take the closed-loop Clipper card will also accept credit and debit cards soon. MTC added that “once the next generation of Clipper is rolled out Bay Area-wide, ‘Tap and Ride’ will include all discounted fares and transfers between transit services.”
