Race fans can leave the driving to the professionals and take Caltrain to the San José Grand Prix on Saturday, July 29th Sunday, July 30.

In addition to its regular weekend service, Caltrain is providing two special northbound and southbound trains between San Francisco and San Jose, on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday, July 29

SOUTHBOUND - Special limited stop trains will leave San Francisco at 7:45 a.m. and 9:45 a.m., arriving at the San Jose Diridon Station at 8:55 a.m. and 10:55 a.m., respectively. These trains will stop at nine Caltrain stations: San Bruno, Millbrae, San Mateo, Hillsdale, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara.

NORTHBOUND - Extra local trains will leave the San Jose Diridon Station at 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., and arrive in San Francisco approximately 90 minutes later. These trains will make all regular Saturday stops.

Sunday, July 30

Special limited stop trains will leave San Francisco at 7:45 a.m. and 9:45 a.m., arriving at the San Jose Diridon Station at 8:55 a.m. and 10:55 a.m., respectively. These trains will stop at nine Caltrain stations: San Bruno, Millbrae, San Mateo, Hillsdale, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara.

NORTHBOUND - Extra local trains will leave the San Jose Diridon Station at 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., and arrive in San Francisco approximately 90 minutes later. These trains will make all regular Sunday stops.

Caltrain is a Proof-of-Payment system, requiring all passengers to have valid fare media before boarding the train. Caltrain sells tickets through machines at all stations.

Passengers may purchase One-way, Day Pass, or 10-ride Tickets. The 10-ride Ticket is a great bargain for families and groups of friends heading to the race because one ticket may be used by all members of the traveling party, providing they don't exceed the 10-ride limit. Passengers are required to validate all 10-ride tickets before boarding. Monthly Pass holders ride free through all zones on weekends. Caltrain monthly passes that are for two or more zones will receive a local fare credit on VTA buses and light rail.

For additional schedule and fare information, call Caltrain at 1.800.660.4287 (TTY 650.508.6448).
