This kind of falls between commuter rail and general transportation, but I had to pick a spot.

Reporters with the San Francisco Chronicle tried a couple of years ago but only managed 17 out of 27, including agencies that didn't take the Clipper fare card. They included Amtrak Capitol Corridor, Amtrak San Joaquins, and Altamont Corridor Express.

Apparently a video with footage from the feat will be posted to one of the participant's YouTube channel.

One of Bay Area transit’s most challenging records was broken late last week, when a pair of bus/ferry/rail enthusiasts rode the region’s 24 Clipper-eligible transit agencies in less than 24 hours.​
The feat took Jay Sathe and Miles Taylor on an all-night odyssey across hundreds of miles through nine counties — beginning at the Ferry Building in San Francisco on Thursday afternoon, riding through the night and ending dramatically in Vacaville, where the pair hopped on a City Coach bus right at the 24-hour mark.​

Oh this is definitely a Miles thing. If you can handle the sarcasm I'm sure it will be a nicely done video.
