Personally, I find Clipper/Translink pretty unusable. In the times
that I've tried to use it, it usually takes 1-2 seconds and 2-3 tries
before it successfully tags.

I bummed that Muni is canceling their beautifully colored passes and
forcing people that want them to carry around RF cards. I liked being
able to collect the colored passes for posterity.
Now that I've started biking more, I've basically given up on Muni as a result.
