Caltrain $1 Youth Fare Starts Sunday, September 1 

As of Sunday, Sept. 1, a $1 All Zone One-way youth fare will be available on all fare payment methods, a $2 All Zone Day Pass will be available on Caltrain Mobile (while available) and at Caltrain ticket vending machines. 

“It’s now easier than ever for young riders to take advantage of Caltrain, embracing freedom and flexibility rather than traffic and gridlock,” said Caltrain Executive Director Michelle Bouchard. “Now young people can get up and down the peninsula with ease for less than the cost of a boba tea.” 

The Caltrain Board of Directors voted to permanently reduce fares for youth riders at their Aug. Board Meeting.
