BART fares

BART fares are calculated based on the distance you travel through the transit system, with prices increasing the farther you go. Each trip has a base fare that covers shorter distances, and then additional charges are added for longer journeys. Fares can also vary depending on the time of day (peak or off-peak) and the ticket type, such as single ride, day pass, or stored value cards. Payment is made via reusable Clipper cards, paper tickets, or mobile apps. Overall, BART fares are structured to reflect travel length and time, helping to fund the system while keeping costs fair for riders.
