No Clipper card on AirBART
Today’s Chronicle highlights a major annoyance for Oakland airport commuters: you can’t use your Clipper card on the AirBART shuttle. Officials in charge say it would cost too much to add a few readers to the buses, despite the fact that BART is spending almost half a billion dollars on an elevated shuttle to the airport to replace them in a couple of years. So riders have to buy paper tickets or pay cash.
Not surprising they wouldn’t want to spend the money for less than two years of service.
How about a clipper reader from the fire trashed Van Hool? Can’t be very expensive.
