Transit benefits from OneCard

Your Student OneCard acts as a Clipper card, the all-in-one transit card for the Bay Area. You can use it to pay for rides on trains, buses and ferries. As part of tuition and fees, all students pay a fee each semester for a “Gator Pass.” This set of transit passes — accessed via your OneCard — afford students unlimited rides for fixed-route transit on transit operators that accept Clipper Cards(with the exception of cable cars).
