TransLink – The Bay Area’s Transit Card

TransLink is currently being rolled out by Muni, BART and Caltrain. Already accepted on all AC Transit and Dumbarton Express buses as well as all Golden Gate Transit and Ferry routes,TransLink will eventually be accepted on all Bay Area transit agencies. For more information on using TransLink on any of these agencies, please visit translink.org.

The reloadable TransLink card keeps track of its value and automatically deducts the correct fare (including discounts and transfers) for every transit trip. The card can hold different types of value, from monthly passes to multiple-ride tickets to cash. You can get a card or add value online, on the phone, at dozens of retail locations, at transit agency ticket offices or at transit stations. Or set your card up for Autoload and it will reload automatically every time your balance gets low or your pass expires. And if your card is ever lost or stolen, your card will be replaced and your balance will be restored for a small fee as long as your card is registered.

To use TransLink, riders simply "tag" the TransLink card by touching it to the card readers installed on buses or at the entrance to transit stations, and - in an instant - the system automatically deducts the correct fare, including any appropriate discounts and transfers.
