Q: How can I track my progress to see if I am eligible for an upgrade?Ī: Add your mobile phone number and email address to the app you are using to pay your fares. Keep in mind that these payment types cannot be combined for fare capping. Q: Can I combine Clipper and mobile payments to get the benefit of Pay-as-you-go fares?Ī: Fare capping and Pay-as-you-go fares are not transferable between Clipper and AC Transit’s mobile payment platform. If you’d like to use Pay-as-you-go, use a mobile app that supports AC Transit mobile ticketing, or choose Clipper, where you can use Pay-as-you-go fares for Day Passes. Q: Can I use Pay-a s -you-go fares on multiple apps?Ī: Riders can use any app that supports AC Transit’s mobile payment platform to pay their fares, but fare capping and Pay-as-you-go is not transferrable between apps. If you’d like to use Pay-as-you-go and fare capping, purchase all your fares using one app. Riders paying with Adult or Youth fares can use Pay-as-you-go to accumulate to a 31-day Pass during any consecutive 31-day period. Once a rider has spent the equivalent of the pass, they will be upgraded to a Monthly Pass and it will be valid until the end of the month. Starting at the beginning of the month, activations on mobile ticketing will start to count toward the $34 Monthly Pass. This pass is not available to purchase on AC Transit’s mobile payment platform, but using Pay-as-you-go, riders can be upgraded to this pass.

Q: How does the Pay-as-you-go Monthly Pass work?Ī: The Pay-as-you-go Monthly Pass is only available to riders eligible for Senior/Disabled fares. See the table below for an example of daily, weekly, and monthly fare-capping amounts when using Pay-as-you-go fares on AC Transit's Mobile Payment Platform. This means that a fare cap will apply for all trips taken within a daily, weekly, or monthly period from the first time you pay until you reach the cap.

Using Pay-as-you-go fares on AC Transit’s mobile payment platform, fare activations are calculated on a rolling basis. Pay-as-you-go fares guarantee that riders will not pay more than the lowest fare for any period of travel. As you purchase and activate fares, we automatically check to see if you’ve reached a fare capping threshold. Once the threshold is reached for a Day Pass, 7-day Pass, 31-day Pass, 31-day Transbay Pass, or Monthly Pass, the activated fare instantly gets upgraded to that pass and a refund is issued, if needed. Any combination of consecutive trips can translate into upgraded passes. Q: What are Pay-as-you-go fares and fare capping?Ī: With Pay-as-you-go fares, you don’t have to prepay for passes, but can still achieve these passes and tap into the benefits by paying as you go, one fare at a time. Try the Clipper app to manage your account and add a Clipper Card to your mobile wallet to pay fares. Tap your phone on the Clipper reader to pay. Riders can now pay with Clipper on their mobile devices.
