Will it work with a SENIOR Clipper Card now? I added my SENIOR card once about a year ago and after 20-30 rides, it stopped working and I had to go to a MUNI office to get a physical card again, because once you transfer it to the wallet, the physical card won't work any longer. I was told they were having problems. Now, I'm afraid to try it again, for fear it won't work and I'll get stuck or have to pay.
Thanks for taking the time Chris,
Yes, I did discuss the issue with MUNI. I believe I mentioned, they (MUNI) told me to wait a year or so, because the technology was "glitchy". I always have the newest iPhone - at that time it was an iPhone 12 Pro and the OS is always up to date, so I don't think it was the phone. The watch was an Apple Watch Series 6 also with current OS. I tried it on several different busses and once on a ferry, so it wasn't the "readers". My reference to "they" was MUNI or the developers of the software. Again, this was all a year or so ago.
Yesterday, I decided to take a chance and add the card to my Wallet and it loaded and correctly transferred my balance over, so fingers crossed it works long term.
I loved how easy it was to use a year or so ago, and hope the "glitchy" part is history.
I teach seniors at Aquatic Park Senior Center how to use iPhones every Tuesday 2-3:30 on a volunteer basis. I saw the announcement I got about adding the card to the Wallet and included it in my Keynote on Tuesday, BUT told the class to wait until I tried it first.
Wish me luck.

Hi RandallSFO,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!
We understand that you'd like to know if you can use Clipper card in Apple Wallet, correct?
After reviewing Where you can ride transit using Apple Pay, it looks like you can add a Clipper card to your Wallet.
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
I've seen it both ways. When I've gotten the email about checking in, once that was verified, I was able to then choose how to get my boarding passes, in print or to add to the Apple Wallet. However, I've been using the airline's app ever since, and once I check in on the app, it shows the button to get the boarding passes added to the Wallet. Double-check with the airline, they have to be used to questions like that. Good luck.
Maybe I wasn't clear? I added my SENIOR MUNI card to the wallet about a year ago. I worked for a while, then it stopped working, so I had to go to a MU I office to get a new card. REMEMBER, if you transfer an existing card to the Wallet version, you can't use the old card any longer.
I'm going to go to a MUNI Office and do it there just in case.
I read your entire post. When it stopped working, did you discuss that with MUNI, or just get a new card. It is difficult to troubleshoot the problem without all of the facts. Did the card in the Wallet stop working because of the phone, or was it a problem with the company's readers. Who is the "they" you refer to as having problems?
Okay, good luck. I understand how things can be, and I witnessed the beginning rollouts of Apple Pay and how the stores here in my rural part of Illinois took forever to get new readers that would take the Apple Pay. Now, I find that it is strange to find one that doesn't. The part I like the most when it comes to the Watch is the ability to load my airline boarding passes and just having to walk to the gate, then when they start boarding to just tap my Watch, flip my wrist over so I can face the screen down and keep walking! Take care.
Thanks again. I really appreciate your help. BTW, I've had several of my senior students ask how to get their plane tix onto the Wallet. I thought you had to use the airline app. Am I missing something? I'd love to know more about how to do it? I'm going to Europe via Air France and returning on Delta, but when I got the email tickets, there wasn't any place that suggested something like "Add to Apple Wallet". I looked carefully on both. Thoughts?

Thank you so much. That makes perfect sense. Recently I’ve had several of my senior students in class ask me about this, and I couldn’t find anything with the “add to Wallet” button.
After you check in, makes perfect sense, so I will pass it on. Thank you again for helping me, which also helps all the people I teach.
You're welcome. This forum is an excellent source of information. Also, you can find a link to the iPhone User Guide in Bookmarks in Safari, and you can also download it for free in iBooks app on the iOS devices.
Thank you Michelle, but my question is about the SENIOR version of the Clipper Card.
Apple allows you to add the card, what did MUNI say if they were still having problems with the card?
Uh oh. Well, the phone works fine, but the watch doesn’t seem to work?
Will it work with a SENIOR Clipper Card now?
