"Riders can easily add cash value from Apple Pay and just tag and ride. It couldn't be more user-friendly, not to mention timely. "This new fare payment method works on all 24 Bay Area transit services that accept Clipper," said MTC Executive Director Therese McMillan. Riders must use the Clipper app to buy transit agency passes for use on iPhone or Apple Watch. The new Clipper mobile app, available on iPhone, allows riders to easily manage their Clipper cards and their Clipper account, and to plan transit trips around the Bay Area. "After adding their Clipper card to Apple Wallet, riders can simply tap and go for a contactless experience that also keeps their information private and secure." "We're excited that customers across the Bay Area, our hometown, can now use Clipper on iPhone and Apple Watch and benefit from a safer, faster more convenient way to ride," said Jennifer Bailey, Apple's vice president of Apple Pay. "With Clipper's launch today on iPhone and Apple Watch, we are offering greater safety and convenience to riders, drivers, station agents and transit operators." "The last year has taught us the importance of contactless fare payment, and this is one more way Clipper is delivering on that promise," said MTC Chair Alfredo Pedroza. Riders can simply hold their iPhone or their Apple Watch near the Clipper reader and then board the bus, train or ferry. They no longer need to touch a ticket vending machine or reload a Clipper card at a retailer. Today's launch makes paying for and riding public transit easier and safer because Clipper on iPhone and Apple Watch works with Express Mode, which allows riders to quickly tag and pay for rides without having to use Face ID, Touch ID, wake or unlock their device, or open an app.
Riders also can transfer the value from a plastic Clipper card to their iPhone. Clipper will be coming to Google Pay in May. Customers can add the card directly through Apple Wallet and load cash value with Apple Pay anytime, anywhere.
