Independence Day Weekend

Caltrain will operate its regular weekday service on Friday, July 3 including its fire- cracker-fast Baby Bullet service. So if you’re looking to get around fast this Independence Day weekend – ride Caltrain.

And, if you’re thinking about watching the Independence Day Fireworks at Pier 39 in San Francisco on July 4, ride Caltrain and liberate yourself from traffic! Caltrain’s post-fireworks specials will get you home faster than a bottle rocket and are a lot safer.

Caltrain will operate three extra trains after the fireworks. The first two special trains will depart from the San Francisco station at 11 p.m. and 11:15 p.m., respectively, or when full, and express to San Carlos, then making all local weekend stops until the San Jose Diridon station. The third special train will leave at 11:30 p.m., or when full, and will make all local weekend stops until the San Jose Diridon station. Caltrain’s final train of the night will depart at 12:01 a.m. and make all local weekend stops to San Jose Diridon.

Caltrain encourages you to purchase a Day Pass on your way to the festivities to avoid delays in boarding as you return home. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed on trains beginning at 9 p.m.
