Passengers who use a Caltrain Monthly Pass, only available on Clipper® to ride the rail service, will continue to receive a 20% discount through June 30, 2023.
The Caltrain Board of Directors unanimously passed the resolution during its June meeting where they also decided to postpone any fare increases approved at the September 2019 Board meeting as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The agency is providing this discount to encourage people returning to work to take advantage of transit, while also providing some financial relief for those that have been riding regularly throughout COVID-19.
The following is a list of fare changes:
- Monthly Pass Products – Extend the temporary 20% discount through June 30, 2023 for all categories of the Monthly Pass.
- Go Pass – Postpone 5% increases in the price of the Go Pass by one year from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2023, and again from January 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025.
- Clipper® Discount – Postpone a reduction of the Clipper discount from $0.55 to $0.25 per One-way adult fare with corresponding changes to all Clipper Products except the Eligible Discount One-way fare from July 1, 2021 to April 1, 2022.

- Base Fare increase of $0.50: Postpone from July 1, 2021 to July 1, 2022
