The Luck of Irish is with Caltrain Riders March 15

Don’t just wear green this St. Patrick’s Day – go green by taking Caltrain to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in San Francisco on Saturday, March 15. Caltrain riders can reduce their carbon footprint and avoid city traffic jams and expensive parking fees when they use the train for weekend outings.

The parade starts at 11:30 a.m. at Second and Market streets in downtown San Francisco. Caltrain riders can take the train to the final San Francisco stop at Fourth and King streets. From there, simply cross the street and board Muni’s N-Judah or T-Third metro lines and get off at the Montgomery Street Muni station, which is right at the start of the parade route. Parade-goers also can take Muni to the stops at Powell or Civic Center for different views of the parade.

Caltrain offers hourly service on the weekends. The last Saturday train leaves San Francisco at 12:01 a.m. and makes all weekend local stops to San Jose.
