Caltrain Connects Fans to Football at Levi's Stadium, Moscone Center, and More

The big game comes to Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 8, and Caltrain is ready to deliver fans to NFL happenings throughout the Bay Area.  A weeklong schedule of family-friendly events begins Monday, Feb. 2, as Opening Night comes to the San Jose Convention Center, with the Super Bowl Experience and Pro Bowl on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at the Moscone Center. Caltrain will run regular service to get football fans to their destinations. 

On the day of the big game, fans can skip the traffic and take Caltrain to Mountain View Station (nearest to Levi’s Stadium), which will run regular weekend schedule with trains every half hour. From there, riders can connect directly to VTA light rail service to the stadium.  

More than one million people are estimated to visit the Bay Area in the week leading up to the game, and they’ll be checking out attractions from San Francisco to San Jose. Multiple events are scheduled to take place at San Francisco’s Moscone Center and Yerba Buena Gardens, both a short walk or a convenient MUNI ride from the San Francisco Caltrain Station. Attendees for all the events featured this week can take advantage of Caltrain’s half hourly service – on both weekdays and weekends – to ensure they get there on time and home again afterward. 

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 their contactless credit card or digital wallet at the Clipper reader to pay for a ride. 

Riders without Clipper 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. Token Transit is also accepted on both Caltrain and VTA for riders hoping to avoid using the ticket vending machines and clipper readers. 

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. 

Caltrain is also participating in Jersey Day along with its fellow Bay Area transit agencies. Fans are encouraged to wear their jerseys on board to show off their team pride on Feb. 3.
