SamTrans fares

SamTrans accepts cash and Clipper Cards (pay or tag card when boarding the bus). It also offers various passes and tokens. Transfers are not available on SamTrans.

List of token vendors

Cash is accepted for one way fares and day passes. If the cash payment exceeds the fare, change is provided via a magnetic card for future fare payments.

Riders can pay one way fares or load monthly passes with Clipper Cards. There's no multi-ride discount (like tokens) available on Clipper. Bags of tokens are available at selected retailers. Paper monthly pass is not available.

For youth and senior riders, special Clipper cards are necessary to pay youth/senior fares or load youth/senior passes. To obtain these cards, you will need to submit an application to these transit offices in person. Documentation proving eligibility is also required.
