Fans heading to Oracle Park for the San Francisco Giants game and the KPop Demon Hunters Drone Show on Friday, Aug. 14, can leave the driving to Caltrain. The drone show will light up the night sky following the game, which starts at 7:15 p.m. If necessary, Caltrain will operate an additional southbound train before the last scheduled departure at 12:05 a.m. to help fans get home. 

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 or those travelling 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 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.   

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. 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.
