They didn’t get stolen. They are somewhere in my apartment or accidentally thrown away by me. I looked up my clipper card activity, and it hasn’t been used by anyone. My bikelink card doesn’t have auto-load on it, and had less than $10 on it.
I have a spare clipper card, so it’s not a big deal. I just wanted to vent to someone. I haven’t had to use either of these for like a month. I feel frustrated and dumb for misplacing them.
I know there is a clipper card mobile app option. Long ago, I tried to upload my card, but it wasn’t responding, and I tried to resolve it online, but they told me to call a phone number, which I didn’t do because I hate talking to real people on a phone like this is the 20th century.
Thanks for listening.
Update! Very exciting news. I took your guys advice, searching in month old clothes and where I least expect it. I found my clipper card in a pair of pants that I haven’t worn in a while. The bikelink card was not with it. I also found a pair of pajama pants that I’ve been looking for for awhile. I’m very happy I found my bus pass with auto load on it. I’m still slightly bummed that I wont be bicycling to my destination tomorrow, but honestly very relieved and happy about the clipper card that it basically makes up for it. Now I feel hopeful that I’ll find the bikelink card. I feel so much better already!
They’re always in the last place you look, so look there first
You haven’t had to use them in a month? Try your heavy/rain coat pockets. Or anything else you only use in winter. Unless you already have, of course. I hope you’re able to get replacements without having to talk to a person on the phone.
