说真的，旧金山临近硅谷，但是我真的不觉得这个城市有任何的智能化，甚至连他们的交通卡(Clipper Card)，我都觉得是一个笑话。可以说既不智能，也不方便。
一下飞机，我就准备去买旧金山的交通卡了。这个倒是很方便，而且人家支持Apple和安卓，这个倒是不错。但是实际体验中，真的是太差了。
1.Apple Pay 并不好用：
实际体验中，可能是因为我的手机是加拿大的原因，并不是很好用，一下飞机，苹果就提醒了，我可以加 Clipper Card 到我的Apple Wallet里面。而且他们的宣传，也是鼓励大家使用苹果或者安卓。但是实际上，我一开始使用了大半天，但是一直没有激活，这个过程大概要5-10分钟。因为我很着急，一直tap，一直不成功，很尴尬。之后坐公交，也有很高的几率Tap 不成功，难道是因为我是加拿大来的吗？但是充值倒是很快，一秒钟到账
2.Clipper Card 在线充值:烂
尽然要1-2天的时间到账，这个我彻底无语了。我把原文给你拷贝出来。简单的说，最短1-2天，如果用银行账户的autoload，第一次要10天。我差点怀疑自己的眼睛了。

3.退钱超级麻烦
如果说，充值到账慢是一个问题，那么多余的钱退回来，又是一个问题。
