SamTrans and Caltrain Service for the Fourth of July Holiday

June 27, 2013

On the Fourth of July, SamTrans and Caltrain will operate on Sunday schedules.  Caltrain will offer extra service for Independence Day fireworks. 

Following the fireworks, the first special train will depart from the San Francisco station at 11:15 p.m., or when full, and express to San Carlos, and then make all local weekend stops to the San Jose Diridon station.  Two special trains will leave at 11:30 p.m. and 12:01 a.m., or when full, and make all local weekend stops to San Jose Diridon.  The last regularly scheduled train will depart at 9:15 p.m. and make all local weekend stops to San Jose Diridon.

Caltrain would like to remind customers that open alcoholic beverages are prohibited on trains departing San Francisco, beginning at 9 p.m. on special event evenings.

About Caltrain: Owned and operated by the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, Caltrain provides commuter rail service from San Francisco to San Jose, with limited commute service to Gilroy. Caltrain has enjoyed 28 consecutive months of ridership increases, surpassing more than 50,000 average weekday riders earlier this year. While the Joint Powers Board assumed operating responsibilities for the service in 1992, the railroad will celebrate 150 years of continuous passenger service in 2014. Planning for the next 150 years of Peninsula rail service, Caltrain is on pace to electrify the corridor by 2019, reducing diesel emissions by 90 percent and adding more service to more stations. 

About SamTrans: Funded in part by a half-cent sales tax, the San Mateo County Transit District also provides administrative support for Caltrain and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority. SamTrans has provided bus service to San Mateo County customers since 1976.
