(Note: In order to take the Metro, you have to get either a temporary card (Muni ticket) or a Clipper card (has $3.00 extra charge) at the vending machines located by the gates to the Metro station.

Transfers for 90 minutes are automatically included when you get a card at the metro stations after paying the fare. Riders should obtain a transfer upon boarding the bus or streetcar after paying the fare. The buses, trolleys, and metro trains provide transfers that are good for at least 90 minutes (usually more time given).

The CASH fare is $2.75** for adults ($1.35 for those under 18 years old and those 65 years old and older) for everything except for the cable cars.
