GETTING AROUND
Visitors taking multiple forms of public transportation throughout the Bay Area should
note that the regional Clipper card ( www.clippercard.com ) can be used on the Caltrain,
BART, SamTrans, VTA, Golden Gate Transit and the Golden Gate Ferry systems. It can be
a handy way to avoid buying multiple tickets, and offers some small discounts, plus al-
most 50% off on the Golden Gate Ferry system.
