Pokémon fans can take Caltrain to San Francisco on Sunday, Aug. 30, for the Pokémon World Championships Finals at Chase Center. The broader championship event runs Aug. 28-30 at Moscone Center, with the finals scheduled for Sunday at Chase Center. Fans can take Caltrain to San Francisco Station at 4th and King Streets, where they can walk less than a mile to Chase Center or transfer to Muni Light Rail.  

Customers should plan ahead, check the weekend schedule and purchase fares before boarding. Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system, and tickets are not sold onboard trains. 

Clipper® is the Bay Area’s all-in-one reloadable transit card and a convenient way to pay Caltrain fares. Adult customers also can tap a contactless credit or debit card, or use a digital wallet such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, at a Clipper reader.  

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.
