AC Transit offers smart card option for Bay Area public transport
AC Transit has begun offering a TransLink smart card to pay fares for nearly every form of public transportation in the Bay area including the Golden Gate Bridge District buses and ferries. Translink will be available on Bay Area Rapid Transit trains, San Francisco’s MUNI, and Caltrain by spring 2008. Adult riders can purchase cards at participating vendors and load it with cash or passes for fare payments. Riders tag their smart card on the reader and the amount is automatically deducted. The card also tracks balances and prior rides and grants transfer discounts if needed.
