Yeah - they were free. Maybe complimentary would be a better description.

I've used a bunch of these transit agencies that use Clipper. San Francisco Bay Ferry allowed people to buy paper tickets on board but I think there's a slight discount for adult fare using Clipper. For youth and senior fares I think there's no discount for Clipper. But when I've ridden San...

If I might bring back and old thread on the basis of a keyword search (no it wasn't Denny's)..... As far as I can tell there are no current plans to do this. The OC Streetcar system is under construction though, but not a separate line from ARTIC to Disneyland...

For years I've seen NextBus phone numbers of San Francisco MUNI posts, but I rarely called them. Seemed a bit cumbersome having to call in (or was it text?). They have these displays at some bus shelters with the next bus times, but increasing they seem to not work any more, or can be covered...

That's $13, but it's only available on the MUNI app. It's $24 to get a paper version or add to a Clipper card. They've got a lot of things that are a bit odd, including the same $5 adult non-Cable Car day pass whether one gets one at the farebox or on the MUNI app. Nearly everything else...

I've seen that at staffed stations with a platform capable of accommodating the full length if there weren't too many passengers. Or staffed stations that aren't staffed 7 days a week.

All public transportation is subsided though. But providing discounts as an incentive to visit would seem to be something that many transit agencies would encourage.

The Clipper program in the San Francisco Bay Area primarily has senior/youth discount cards issued primarily through mail, online, or FAX applications. They'll require a scan/image/photocopy of proof of age. This says 5-18, but I obtained my child's card before turning 5 (when any fare...

I wonder how it works at other stations. There’s no Amtrak staffing at the Richmond, California station, but I’d think BART employees get asked all the time about Amtrak. They do close off the entire station after BART stops operation. It might be easy to miss the entrance or elevators, so...

Anyone know what the procedure is for maintenance on these things? I’m riding the Surfliner and my power adapter is just barely hanging on. They look like they can be replaced pretty easily. Kind of sucks that it’s only a single outlet. They might hold a 3-prong plug better though. Once I...

The transaction history shows that the day pass was loaded and that the stored value is what I started off with. Doesn’t show any intermediate stuff.

Rode again and I’m not what happened, but there’s a Metro employee at the front of the bus (not the driver) and he said that he saw the fare box load a day pass. I think it might have also refunded any previously expended stored value.

Finally used it, but something was off and it doesn’t look like the day pass was added to my card. This is what TAP customer service recommended. Looks like it pulled the fare from the stored value, which wasn’t enough (negative value?), but the driver let me on anyways. I need to figure out...

I was on San Joaquin’s 718 and the 5818 bus to Anaheim. It was late, but right on time to just make the first westbound OCTA 50 bus and see if they honored my Amtrak ticket. Only I got to the bus bay and saw a sign saying no bus service due to a strike. Bummer. Now I’m walking almost three...

Amtrak Cascades is a multi-state operation but I think Washington and Oregon own the equipment. I’m not sure what it was with service to BC, but it doesn’t sound much different than other negotiated services outside a certain boundary, like transbay service from AC Transit. Still, all of these...

On San Joaquin right now, but no cafe car... But there is one table that’s set up with enough snack packs for everyone and those teeny tiny 8 oz bottles of water. The announcement made is that they substitute for the lack of a cafe car. I guess no beer though. The box is kind of interesting...

The only thing that came to mind for me was the Napa Valley Wine Train. But I was also thinking of it the time that some passengers were told to get off, and the reporting was that even as an excursion railway, they had their own railroad police with one fully sworn officer...

I can't find anything that states that they're anything but battery powered and plugged in to charge. The typical thing would be to use overhead lines, but obviously that has limits although many now have small battery backups that might allow emergency use. OK - I looked it up and it does...

I've ridden on Anaheim Resort Transportation with their new fleet of almost all BYD electrics. Not sure if they've had any issues since they're all pretty new. However, the area they cover is generally pretty flat. As for hybrids, Yosemite National Park was using Gilligs with the Allison...
