Bart Clipper Senior & Youth Discount Card

The BART Clipper Senior & Youth Discount Card is a personalized, discount transit card for Bay Area residents 65 and older, offering significant savings (around 62.5% off) on BART and other regional transit fares when paying with cash value, with discounts also available on passes and ride books. You apply with proof of age (like a passport or ID) and receive a personalized card to load with funds, saving money compared to adult fares or paper tickets.
How it Works & Benefits:
Age Requirement: For riders 65 and over.
Discount: Provides approximately 62.5% off adult cash value fares and discounts on monthly passes/ride books.
One-Time Fee: There’s a small fee for the physical card itself, but it pays for itself quickly.
Regional Use: Accepted on most Bay Area transit systems (BART, Muni, Caltrain, etc.).
How to Get One:
Apply: You can apply online at clippercard.com/discounts, by mail, email, or fax.
In-Person: Get one immediately at Clipper Customer Service Centers or transit agency ticket offices.
Proof of Age: You’ll need to provide documentation like a birth certificate, passport, or state-issued ID to verify your age.
Key Tip: Load your card with cash value at vending machines in BART stations or online, and always “tag off” (tap again) at your destination on BART and other distance-based transit to get the correct discounted fare.
