As far as I understand, there are no clipper card vending machines at OAK. But there is one at Coliseum Station. If I plan to buy a clipper card anyway, should I do that at Coliseum Station? Or should I buy a regular ticket from OAK to my destination in downtown San Francisco and buy a clipper card afterwards?

          I assume you're talking about taking BART from OAK to San Francisco, in which case, you should wait until you're in San Francisco to get the Clipper card.



          There's no particular reason I can think of to stop at the Coliseum just for a Clipper card. Paper tickets on BART have a per trip surcharge, which you're already paying to take BART away from the airport. There are no monetary savings in paying for a paper ticket for OAK-Coliseum and using Clipper for Coliseum-Powell (for example) compared to just buying a paper ticket from OAK-Powell.

          • I'm not very familiar with the Coliseum station, but it's possible the Clipper machine is outside the fare gates, or at least an annoying schlep from the platform for someone carrying luggage. Regardless, depending on the timing of the connection, you may not want to bother.

            For travelers landing at OAK, there is no need to purchase a BART ticket or Clipper card until after you arrive at the Coliseum BART station Platform 3, where you can buy a BART ticket or regional Clipper card from vending machines.




            The BART line between Oakland Airport and Coliseum Station is a people-mover "monorail" service (though it actually has two rails). To get anywhere from OAK, you have to transfer at Coliseum to the regular heavy-rail BART system, and you can buy your Clipper card there. It's not clear whether it would even be possible to buy tickets of any kind at OAK itself.

              Can confirm that at OAK there are no tickets -- you buy tickets when you arrive at Coliseum. (Even if you do not transfer to another BART train you pay when you get off the people mover in Coliseum.)
