Caltrain has reduced the price of its Monthly Pass by 20% from April to September. Riders can purchase an April Pass starting March 21.
Caltrain 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 the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
A standard monthly pass is the same price as 15 round trips, costing between $96 and $433.50, depending on how many zones one is traveling. A monthly pass provides free rides between the zones selected on weekdays, and allows the passholder to ride any distance free on weekends and holidays.
Monthly passes are only available through Clipper, allowing for touchless payments, while also providing additional discounts for transfers to or from other transit systems, including VTA, SamTrans, SFMTA and Dumbarton Express. Riders can sign up for a Clipper card at their website or by using a Clipper machine at the San Francisco, San Jose, Sunnyvale, Redwood City, Millbrae or Palo Alto stations, as well as hundreds of retail vendors.

About Caltrain: Owned and operated by the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, Caltrain provides commuter rail service from San Francisco to San Jose, with commute service to Gilroy. While the Joint Powers Board assumed operating responsibilities for the service in 1992, the railroad celebrated 150 years of continuous passenger service in 2014. Planning for the next 150 years of Peninsula rail service, Caltrain is on pace to electrify the corridor, reduce diesel emissions by 97 percent by 2040 and add more service to more stations.
