Muni, Caltrain, and all the public transit services that take Clipper will accept credit or debit card taps for rides in just a week, as paying with credit or debit won’t just be a BART thing anymore starting this Wednesday.

    Wait, so I can’t just boop my wallet with my Clipper Card, or else it might process one of the cards in there?

      This is exactly what I am wondering.

      I have a clipper card, a credit card, and a debit card all in the same wallet. Which one will it charge? All three?

      Avoid card clash. This happens when a Clipper reader detects more than one card at a time, which can result in card reader errors or having the wrong card charged.

      • To avoid this, remove physical cards from your wallet or purse before tapping just like you would do when making a purchase at retailers.

      It’s best to keep a separate mini-wallet or pass holder for transit cards.

      But if you’re not getting some kind of monthly pass, you can just use a credit or debit card now, and have one less card in your wallet.
