Fun fact: it is a crime to rely on ATMs if you use BART. You MUST be in possession of small bills to buy your freedom from the BART faregates if your Clipper card is underpaid while trying to exit.
$20s and credit cards are only accepted by machines on the outside of the faregates. It is not possible to load excess value onto your card while underpaid; you can only pay the card up to the minimum value to exit, in cash, subject to the change the machine is prepare to give.
If, like me, the only cash you carry is $20s from an ATM, the only way to get out of BART in this situation is to illegally walk through the emergency exit gate.
Being able to go to a bank teller who gives out $5s and $10s is a big deal.
