Buying Alameda – San Francisco Ferry Tickets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Clipper Card is the preferred method of payment, but tickets may also be purchased on board the ferry at the time of departure. If returning from San Francisco, you may purchase tickets at the Bay Crossings store in the San Francisco Ferry Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In some instances when the ferry service is expected to be busier than normal, San Francisco Bay Ferry Guest Assistant Representatives will be on hand at the Alameda Main Street terminal to sell tickets to customers in line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, a relatively new way to purchase tickets is via the HopThrue mobile app which is available for both iOS and Android mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are a passenger transferring to or from MUNI using your Clipper Card, you will receive a $0.50 transfer discount on your fare. AC Transit also offers transfer discounts when paying with your Clipper Card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
