Caltrain running service to all three concerts held at Stanford Stadium, and getting festive on Tuesday, May 19
BTS will perform at Stanford Stadium on Saturday, May 16; Sunday, May 17; and Tuesday, May 19, and fans looking to enjoy the euphoria can start the party on Caltrain.
BTS fans will have permission to dance on Caltrain’s two K-pop-themed trains as they head to the show from both the north and south to Palo Alto Station, just a short walk from the venue. On board, fans will find decorated train cars, fun giveaways and prizes, music, and a festive atmosphere as they travel to the concert with the rest of the BTS ARMY.
On Tuesday, May 19, the themed trains will take place on:
- Northbound Local 143, departing San Jose Diridon Station at 3:23 p.m. and arriving at Palo Alto Station at 3:55 p.m.
- Southbound Local 142, departing San Francisco Station at 3:25 p.m. and arriving at Palo Alto Station at 4:14 p.m. for the 7 p.m. concert (doors open at 4:30 p.m.).
Caltrain will operate an additional northbound post-event train between Trains 171 and 173 to accommodate increased ridership following the concert. The train is expected to depart Palo Alto Station at approximately 11:28 p.m., or earlier if it reaches capacity. For the weekend concerts, the final northbound train of the evening will depart Palo Alto Station at 11:58 p.m. and the final southbound train will depart at 12:56 a.m. For the Tuesday concert, the final northbound of the evening will depart Palo Alto Station at 11:57 p.m. and the final southbound train will depart at 12:54 a.m. There will be no service at Stanford Station.
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 prohibited on trains beginning at 9 p.m. on special events days and nights. 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.
