BART Enables Riders To Use Universal Fare Card
TransLink Card Can Be Used For Major Bay Area Transportation Systems

POSTED: 5:15 p.m. PDT September 25, 2003

OAKLAND -- After months of tense negotiations, Bay Area Rapid Transit has decided to jump on board a plan to use a universal fare card called TransLink.

Instead of buying separate tickets, TransLink cardholders can use the smart card to pay to board nearly every major Bay Area transportation system.

For months, BART was reluctant to join TransLink, until it could prove the card would recognize the discounts BART offers its cash paying customers.

BART officials said Thursday that those issues have been worked out and soon BART riders will be able to use TransLink throughout the entire BART system.
