Using Your Access Pass ID Card
In order to access the Muni Metro Station faregates you must display your ID card to a Station Agent for access to the Metro system. If no agent is present, you may proceed through the faregate closest to the station agent booth – it will open automatically.
The ID card is valid through the month and year printed on the front of the card. On surface level vehicles, you may enter the back door or, when boarding the front door, display your ID card to the Operator.
