About public transport AC and BART

<p>Are there any discounts available for Berkeley students on both of them? I heard AC is free of charge and BART has no discount for students.</p>

<p>AC Transit (the bus system for those that don’t know) requires a $10 charge in order to get a sticker on your Cal ID that then allows you to just show the bus driver and not have to pay anything. And BART does not have any discount for students.</p>

<p>thanks for the great information, sllamas1.</p>

<p>$10 for the sticker? Where do you get that?</p>

<p>AC transit is free to Cal students with the Classpass sticker added to your Cal1 card.</p>

<p>Just don’t lose your Cal1 Card, or you end up having to pay for a new classpass.</p>

<p>The bus pass is “free” in the sense that you already paid for it with your student fees.</p>

<p>The “Class Pass” is comes at a $68 fee that is already intertwined into your tuition fees. At first I thought I would never need/use it, but I must admit it was quite nice to have.</p>

<p>oh wait…it was $10 for RSF membership…damn $69.50 for the bus pass? that’s a lot! Sorry for the bad info…</p>

<p>But since you already pay for it regardless if you get the class pass or not, you might as well get it.</p>

<p>Even at $69.50, the bus pass is still a good deal.</p>

<p>Consider that a regular bus pass is $80/mo, and a transbay one is $120/mo. Your sticker is equivalent to a transbay bus pass. Consider that single rides usually cost $2.</p>

<p>Since the sticker is good for a semester, even if you take two rides a week, it’d have been worth it.</p>

<p>Not to mention, the sticker is what also gets you access to the Bear Transit buses that circle campus.</p>

<p>guys I’ll be an EAP student, so how much more would I need to pay? Fees are confusing to me.</p>
