Unlimited-ride pass on San Francisco BART
Most public transit networks I have used offer a so-called day pass, weekly pass or similar ticket that allow unlimited rides during a limited time, on the whole system or on certain zones in case of wider service areas.
I was not able to find any information about the existence of such a pass on BART. The best deal offered is a high-value ticket that contains more dollars than it actually costs. Getting it is rather inconvenient since it should be requested in the mail, making it unsuitable for tourism. Does it mean I need to pay for every single trip even if I need to heavily use the system for a few days?

Yeah and by the way, I don't recommend using day-pass on Muni, in San Francisco. Single tickets are very convenient since they are valid for 90 minutes and paper tickets bought after 8.30pm are valid until early morning.
Single tickets cost $2 each, while a day-pass is $13 or so (you have to ride the bus very often to pay 6 single tickets in one day).
The clipper card is pretty convenient (you don't need exact change for every ride) and could be bought at any Walgreens.
And for visiting the city, Muni can usually be enough (unless you want to achieve a lot). Buses are slow (or city is large, put it the way you prefer) but you can see around and it's nice.
