One-way Ticket
Valid for use within four hours of the date and time sold. One-way tickets will be honored for one-way passage away from the point of origin, including stopovers/transfers, within the zone limits.

Caltrain is offering a joint adult Caltrain + VTA Day Pass. The Caltrain portion is valid to Zone 3 - perfect for customers heading to Levi's® Stadium or Great America – and costs an additional $7.50 compared to a Caltrain Day Pass. The joint pass is valid on Caltrain through the last train of the night and on VTA local buses and light rail until 3 a.m. Adult passengers traveling from a VTA local bus to a VTA express bus will have to pay a $2.50 surcharge (VTA Express service information). The pass should be purchased at your boarding station, not at Mountain View.
Monthly Pass
The Monthly Pass, available only on the Clipper® card, is valid for use for the calendar month for which issued. Monthly passes are honored for unlimited weekday trips between zones indicated on the pass. On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays (except for Christmas Eve), the pass is honored for unlimited trips between all zones.
Ticket sales start on the 21st of the month and stop on the 15th of the month that the pass is valid. Monthly passes must be tagged by the 15th of the month to activate them, including Autoload customers. Note: If you loaded your card at a retail vendor (such as Whole Foods or Anchor Drugs Pharmacy) or a Clipper® Add-value Machine then you don't need to tap (the pass was loaded when the card physically interacted with the Clipper® terminal).
The Caltrain 2+ Zone Clipper® Monthly Pass functions as a SamTrans and VTA monthly bus pass for all non-premium routes.
Zone Upgrade Ticket
Valid for use within four hours of the date and time sold. Zone Upgrade tickets are valid only when accompanying another valid ticket (One-way, Day Pass or Monthly Pass) and cannot be used alone. The Zone Upgrade ticket will be honored for one-way passage for additional zones purchased beyond the original ticket's zone limits. The Zone Upgrade ticket's validity period does not supersede the original ticket's validity period.
