Celebrate Black Joy. Use 12th Street and 19th Street stations. Use B exits when leaving the station for a shorter walk.

 

Avoid Lines at Vending Machines and Put Clipper on Your Phone

Getting a Clipper card on your cellphone or Apple Watch before you head to the parade will save you time and money. 

Before you leave home, put a digital Clipper card in your phone’s (or Apple Watch’s) digital wallet through either Apple Pay or Google Pay and load funds for immediate use (check the round trip fare for your trip). Every rider 5 years and older needs their own Clipper card - families can’t share a card. Do not use the Clipper app for this. Taking these steps before you arrive at BART will save you time (and the $3 plastic card fee) as lines for the vending machines may be long.
