Apple Pay enters a broader range now that it includes the Clipper Card. You can now use your iPhone or Apple watch to pay instead of the traditional tap-to-pay card. This development brings exciting new features but also a few reminders you should keep an eye out for.
The Verge noted that the Clipper Card is an all-in-one transit card used for contactless fare payments throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. You can reload money to the card, and it would automatically serve as your electronic transit fare payment. The Clipper Card is used for various transportation modes, including BART (which serves the East Bay and San Francisco), Caltrain (which connects San Francisco to the peninsula and South Bay), Muni (San Francisco's bus and light rail system), VTA (South Bay buses and light rail), and even ferries. The Clipper card includes both private and public transit modes.
