Take Caltrain to Giants Home Opener

 

It’s been a longer break than usual, but as the San Francisco Giants play their home opener in San Francisco with a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies, Caltrain is there to drop fans at the game and get them home after the last out.

Riders are encouraged to check the schedule for service to and from the park to ensure they are at the platform with a paid ticket before trains arrive and depart.

Caltrain continues to monitor ridership arriving and departing SF station and will support customer needs as the season progresses.

Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system; tickets are not sold onboard trains but can be purchased at station ticket machines. Riders that wish to use contactless payment can use either Caltrain mobile app or a Clipper card, which can now be purchased at a Ticket Vending Machine at the San Jose, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Millbrae and San Francisco Stations.

Parking at Caltrain stations costs $5.50 for the day, and permits can be purchased using the Caltrain mobile app or through ticket machines onsite. Paid parking rules are enforced throughout the day.

Caltrain advises that everyone respect public health orders, wear a face covering and maintain social distancing in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Caltrain reminds customers that open alcoholic beverages are prohibited on the trains beginning at 9 p.m. on special event days and nights.
