A list of San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit stations that, according to Clipper, sell Super Bowl Clipper Cards. Lake Merritt, Castro Valley, Dublin/Pleasanton, 12th Street Oakland City Center, MacArthur, Colma, San Bruno, San Francisco International Airport - Levels 5 and 7, West Dublin, 19th Street Oakland, South San Francisco, Millbrae, Fruitvale, West Oakland, Powell

Anyway, if yall want the list, this is from r/bayareaclippercard

Also I’ve been waiting here at SSF for a Millbrae bound train and three trains just passed in the opposite direction.

How.

I’m hunting for the Super Bowl Clipper Card and so far, I’ve tried Millbrae, Colma, and SSF.

Colma was unstaffed. The attendant at SSF said he had no idea which machine it was in bc “they don’t tell us” and said to try San Bruno.

Millbrae’s been the only success.

For all the times I’ve had layovers in Charlotte, I’ve never actually visited the city.

Maybe one day, if they ever extend its light rail line to the airport 🤞🏼

People in my town have been fundraising for a wine bar

ngl I have never seen that place open. But then again, I thought the nightclub in the same area was also abandoned

Goes to show the California night life aint for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

A screenshot from the Transit app. Line 55 on the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority toward Old Ironsides Station has two buses that appear to be cancelled, one scheduled in 26 minutes and one scheduled in 55 minutes.

Please don’t tell me this is real, VTA 😭

Two cancelled buses back to back?

It’s a damn good thing we have tap to pay now cuz I just tried reloading my clipper and apparently my account is just gone??

So I send both complaints and commendations to VTA whenever they’re warranted.

The one time I got a proper phone call back was when I followed their terminology and called the thingamabob an “annunciator” (I prefer emails tbh). I wonder if they thought I was some kind of auditor 🤔

My brain: DID YOU KNOW THAT VTA ROUTE 56 STARTS AND ENDS AT A GROCERY OUTLET BARGAIN MARKET ON WEEKENDS

Looking forward to things to come, both in our country and our fair city

The sheer amount of Pokémon streamers who are not only familiar with, but abhor the existence of anti-homeless benches gives me so much hope for the future

From a poster called “just shower thoughts“ reading: when people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically, changing the present by doing something small, barely anyone in the present to really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

I may have found my defining quote.

Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!

Thank you for remaining steadfast on this issue. I know this isn’t as big of a priority for the people of our district compared to other issues but it’s a relief to know you’re willing to go against the grain even if there will be serious resistance from very powerful people.

If they don’t have these things, I’m not interested

Frickin finally

A screenshot from the San Francisco Chronicle, the headline reading “This 30-year Bay Area project is almost completed. Will it ease traffic?”

When will we learn that the answer will be and always will be no.

A bus from the Santa Clara Valley Transport Authority (i.e. Silicon Valley). The bus wrap indicates that it is a Route 60 Airport Flyer bus meant to accommodate travelers with luggage, but the digital signage indicates that it is running Route 20 from Sunnyvale to Milpitas.

Spotted in downtown Sunnyvale.

Poor Airport Flyer seems to be a little lost

God bless the drivers who kneel the bus for people with luggage

Got notified about an open BMR in Sunnyvale

Rent was +$1500

Double checked the income limit for 1 person and it looks like it went up in recent years. I’m too poor to afford affordable housing 🙃

ngl I thought I was late in searching for masters programs for Spring 2026

Turns out the place I visited today are still accepting applications for Fall 2025. Definitely not trying to get in THAT soon but now I feel better looking at other places

I’m a big fan of downtown Mountain View 👌🏼

Great place to hang out and watch both Caltrain and VTA with some goodies from the nearby bakeries

In 2011, a stretch of I-195 that ran right through the heart of Providence was demolished, freeing up 26-acres of Downtown adjacent land for new housing and an innovation district, reconnecting neighborhoods divided by the highways construction.

So I’m back in Mountain View after my trip to Chicago/DC

Apparently one of the french patisseries burnt down?????

The world may be falling apart, but at least VTA put this bench at my bus stop so I can hold my head in my hands while I wait for my bus to my inevitably expiring contract job

After my last trip to Chicago/DC, since I already had a card binder thanks to yugioh, I figured I’d start a fare card collection

Where should I go next?

Okay what was Murphy smoking when he bragged about NJ Transit being the “first” to get self-propulsion double decker EMUs

It’s not just Caltrain, they have them here in Chicago, too
