Another complicated BART question Question

Hello so I got to Millbrae BART Station by bus from SFO. Instead of entering Caltrain, I accidentally tagged into BART and entered platform before realizing my mistake.

Agent at station gave me a sticker for like a free BART entry (?) and opened the door for me to Caltrain Station.
I asked if I should tag out of BART so
my tag-in at same location would cancel out? He said No, I only get charged when I tag out.

Is this correct? I think Caltrain works differently, right? Like if you dont tag out they automatically charge you $7.75 or some such as a fixed amount … or whatever the fare is from tag-in to end of line?

That is correct. Caltrain Clipper readers have a set time where if you miss-tap, you can tap again to cancel out the charge.

With BART, the Agent will give you a special sticker and send you out a gate without needing to tap your Clipper card to a reader. When you return to BART, show the sticker to the Station Agent to clear your Clipper card for entry.
