On Tuesday, inside the Embarcadero BART station, Mayor Daniel Lurie, BART General Manager Bob Powers, and other local officials announced a new contactless payment system. The upgrade will allow riders to pay for fares directly at the gates using credit and debit cards, making travel more convenient and efficient for Bay Area commuters.

Starting Wednesday, riders on BART will be able to use their bank cards in a new Tap and Ride fare program that removes the need to use a Clipper card when tapping into and out of the metro system.
