TransLink
TransLink® is Here!
Riders on all AC Transit and Dumbarton Express buses and all Golden Gate Transit and Ferry routes can now use a
reloadable TransLink smart card to pay their transit fares. The credit card-sized TransLink card keeps track of
its value and automatically deducts the correct fare (including discounts and transfers) for every transit trip.
You can buy a card or add value online, on the phone, at dozens of retail locations, at transit agency ticket
offices or at transit stations-you can even have value added automatically with Autoload. And if your card is
ever lost or stolen, your balance will be restored as long as your card is registered with the TransLink Customer
Service Center (registration is free).
TransLink is a snap to use. When boarding a bus or ferry, you simply "tag" the TransLink card by touching it to
the logo on the card reader, and - in an instant - the system automatically deducts the correct fare, including
any appropriate discounts and transfers.
BART, Muni and Caltrain are next in line to join TransLink, followed by SamTrans and VTA. Eventually all Bay Area
transit agencies will accept TransLink.
