Hit A Home Run - Take Caltrain To Giants Exhibition Games

Caltrain is on track for the San Francisco Giants’ home pre-season opener against the Seattle Mariners Thursday, March 27, when fans converge on AT&T Park. The pre-season will continue with two more exhibition games at the San Francisco park: Batters will face the Oakland A’s Friday, March 28 and Sunday, March 30.

For the weekday games, fans have a choice of seven regularly scheduled trains that arrive in San Francisco before the first pitch. On Sundays, trains run hourly. In addition, a special train will depart the San Jose Diridon station at 10:20 a.m. The train will make all local stops, arriving in San Francisco at 11:56 a.m.

After the game, two special trains will depart San Francisco for the return trip. An express train to San Carlos leaves approximately 15 minutes after the last out, or when full, and then makes all locals stops after San Carlos to the San Jose Diridon station. The second train departs San Francisco 25 minutes after the game, or when full, and serves all local stops to San Jose Diridon.

Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system; tickets are not sold on board trains but can be purchased at vending machines at the stations or at the San Francisco or San Jose ticket offices. To save time on the return trip, fans are encouraged to buy a day pass.

Caltrain baseball service brochures will soon be available on trains or can be viewed HERE. For fare and schedule information, call 1.800.660.4287 (TTY 650.508.6448.)
