As the San Francisco 49ers’ first home preseason game approaches on Sunday, August 18, Caltrain, in partnership with the VTA, remains the fans’ choice for traveling to Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium to see the action in person.
For pre- and post-game service, Caltrain will be operating its regular weekend service along the Peninsula. Fans can transfer to VTA light rail at the Mountain View Caltrain Station for continuing service to the stadium.
Given the large crowds expected, riders are encouraged to purchase a joint adult Caltrain + VTA Day Pass through the Caltrain mobile app or use Clipper to avoid lines at ticket vending machines. Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system; tickets are not sold onboard trains but can be purchased at station ticket machines or via mobile ticketing before boarding. Day Passes purchased through the mobile app are valid on the day of purchase through the end of the service day.
Parking at Caltrain stations costs $5.50 for the day, and permits can be purchased using the Caltrain mobile app or through ticket machines at station platforms. The mobile app can be used immediately after parking, as it requires a space number. Paid parking rules are enforced throughout the day.
Caltrain reminds customers that open alcoholic beverages are prohibited on the trains beginning at 9 p.m. on special event days and nights.
