Regional Transfer Discounts
MUNI TRANSFER DISCOUNT
Muni is San Francisco's network of buses, light rail, streetcars and cable cars. Transfer to Muni within one hour of tagging off Caltrain for a 50-cent discount (off the Muni Adult cash value), but remember to tag on/off Caltrain to qualify. Consider the Adult Muni-Only "M" Pass for frequent Muni riders.
If you transfer to Muni within an hour of tagging off on Caltrain using cash value or a Monthly Pass with a Zone 1 origin or destination, you will automatically receive a 50-cent discount off the Muni Adult cash value fare. You must tag on and off on Caltrain - even if you have a Monthly Pass - to receive the discount on Muni.
Note: Caltrain customers taking 18 roundtrips or more on Muni each month may want to buy and load an Adult Muni-Only "M" Pass on their Clipper card.
