Karol G’s Viajando por el Mundo Tropitour comes to Levi’s Stadium on Friday, Aug. 21 and Saturday, Aug. 22, and Caltrain will help get fans to the show’s 7 p.m. start and back home again afterward. In addition to its regular weekday service, Caltrain will run a themed-Reggaeton Train on Friday so fans can start the party early on board, and an additional post-concert northbound train for both the Friday and Saturday concerts. 

The Reggaeton Train will include two decorated coach cars on the southbound 148, which will depart San Francisco Station at 4:55 p.m. Riders can enjoy a festive journey with their fellow fans, as well as a raffle featuring officially licensed Karol G merchandise, while still arriving in time for opening act Becky G.

Fans looking to skip the traffic can take advantage of Caltrain’s service every 30 minutes all day and ride to Mountain View Station. From there, riders will find WILD 94.9’s Jess keeping the party going as they wait to connect to VTA light rail service and ride to the stadium. On both nights the extra northbound train is scheduled to depart Mountain View 90 minutes after the concert ends and after the arrival of the final special VTA train. The last regular northbound train of the evening departs Mountain View Station at 11:48 p.m. and the last southbound train departs at 1:04 a.m. for the Friday concert. For the Saturday, Aug. 22 concert, the last regular northbound train of the evening departs Mountain View Station at 11:49 p.m. and the last southbound train departs at 1:05 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 your Caltrain fare. Riders can also tap their contactless credit card or digital wallet on a Clipper reader to pay for a ride. 

Riders without Clipper or those traveling in a group can purchase a joint VTA/Caltrain Day Pass at the Ticket Vending Machines. Youth fares are $1 for a one-way ticket, and $2 for a youth day pass for passengers age 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. 

Caltrain enforces paid parking rules throughout the day, including on weekends and holidays. Parking at Caltrain stations costs $5.50 for the day, and riders can purchase permits using the ParkMobile app or through ticket machines on-site. ParkMobile allows riders to 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. Parking at Mountain View Station is limited, so riders expecting to drive to the station to ride VTA should plan on arriving early or parking at a different Caltrain station and riding to Mountain View. 

Since the launch of electrified service, Caltrain has provided cleaner air for communities along the corridor and faster, more frequent service for riders throughout the San Francisco Peninsula with a state-of-the-art electric fleet featuring modern amenities such as free Wi-Fi, power outlets, baby changing tables in the bathroom and much more.
