Caltrain Ready To Roll To World Cup Soccer Match

Contact: Janet McGovern, 650.508.6356

Caltrain will operate extra service to bring soccer fans home from the World Cup competition tonight at SBC Park.

Fans can get to the 8 p.m. match-up between the U.S. Men’s National Team and Japan on Caltrain’s regular weekday service. But for the trip home, Caltrain will operate two special trains, in addition to regular service.

The first southbound return train will depart the San Francisco Caltrain Station approximately 15 minutes after the end of the game, operating non-stop to San Carlos. From there, the special train will make all local weekday stops to San Jose.

The second southbound special train will leave approximately 25 minutes after the end of the game, making all local weekday stops to Diridon station in San Jose.

Caltrain’s San Francisco Station is just a two-block walk to the ballpark, or people can ride the Muni Metro’s N-Judah streetcar.

For schedule information call Caltrain at 1.800.660.4287.
