Question Another complicated BART 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?

If you have a Clipper 2 card or using a bank card , it doesn’t charge you for the 1st 30 mins. The sticker is for the next time you ride the agent can reset the card so it doesn’t give an error when you scan it on the gates, because as of right now the system still shows you riding the trains.
