Caltrain to operate weekend schedule for Labor Day

Media Contact: Mahmoud Abunie, 650-730-6201 

Caltrain will operate a weekend schedule in observance of Labor Day on Monday, Sept. 7.   

The last northbound train of the day will depart San Jose Diridon Station at 11:25 p.m. The last southbound train of the service day will leave from San Francisco Station Tuesday morning at 12:05 a.m.  

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 Caltrain fares – 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. 

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. 

For more information about Caltrain Holiday Service or help planning a trip, passengers can call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-660-4287 or visit www.caltrain.com. The Customer Service Center is open on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

The administrative offices of the San Mateo County Transit District, which manages Caltrain, will be closed on Labor Day.
