Caltrain  Ticket Validators     
Caltrain

Click to see a bigger picture of Ticket Vending Machine If you have purchased a 10-ride Ticket or if you have a complimentary ticket, you must validate your ticket before boarding the train. Most validators (see photo at right) are located next to a TVM.

To validate a ticket, insert the ticket as far as it will go and wait for it to be stamped. It will be time stamped four hours from when you validate it. Your trip must be completed by the end of the four-hour time period.

Ten-ride tickets work best if they are kept in good condition, i.e. not folded, tattered or crinkled. If a validator is not working, passengers must immediately notify a conductor upon boarding the train.

If you board the train with a non-validated 10-ride or complimentary ticket, you will be subject to citation.
