San Francisco has the most extensive public transit system on the West Coast. The MUNI-Metro, a light rail system, operates six lines (plus one shuttle line) that crisscross the city. The cash fare for Muni Metro, like Muni buses, effective January 1, 2020, is $3 for adults. Clipper and MuniMobile fares are lower than cash fares. Their fares are $2.50 for adults. BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is the regional transit system connecting San Francisco with outlying communities. A single ride ticket covers 90 mins of travel time. To ride, purchase a Clipper card from a ticket machine; 1, 3, and 7-day passes are also available. The MUNI Passport can be purchased at the airport, online or at several locations inside the city. It offers unlimited rides on buses, historical streetcars and cable cars.
