I called Clipper support on Thursday. It sounded like mayhem in the background noise. The service rep was stumped by my problem and just gave up. It was a stark contrast with the Clipper customer service of a few months ago where the reps were patient and polite.
Rather than dump another half million into customer service Caltrain should just revert to the previous ticketing scheme while they use that cash to re-engineer the problems out of Caltrain-Clipper.
But it seems that the temptation is to think that Caltrain users just need more training. Clipper should hire Don Norman or one of his disciples to solve this for good.
