Caltrain is gearing up to move fans across the Peninsula as Bay FC opens the soccer season this Saturday against Denver Summit FC. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m., and Caltrain offers a convenient option for supporters heading to the match.
Fans can take the train to the Santa Clara Station and connect to VTA service for a quick trip to PayPal Park, or enjoy a short walk from the station. The transit option helps riders avoid traffic and parking congestion on game day while providing a convenient and affordable way to reach the stadium.
Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system that requires riders to pay their fare before boarding. Clipper® is the all-in-one reloadable transit card for the Bay Area — and a convenient way to pay your Caltrain fare – but riders can now also simply tap on and off with their contactless credit card or digital wallet at the Clipper reader. Riders without Clipper, credit/debit cards, or a digital wallet can purchase tickets at station ticket machines. Tickets are not sold on board. Youth Fares are $1 for a one-way ticket, and $2 for a youth day pass for passengers 18 and under.
Caltrain reminds customers that open alcoholic beverages are allowed on trains until 9 p.m. during regular service. Disruptive passengers will be asked to leave Caltrain property.
Paid parking rules are enforced throughout the day, including on weekends and holidays. Parking at Caltrain stations costs $5.50 for the day, and permits can be purchased using the ParkMobile app or through ticket machines onsite. ParkMobile allows riders to simply input the station zone number (which can be found through the app and will be posted on station signage and on station pages on the Caltrain website) as well as the number of the parking space. To use the app, customers must create an account by entering an email address, payment method, and license plate number.
