The 49ers are still in the mix, so Caltrain has extended its extra service to Levi’s Stadium into the postseason. Fans should take Caltrain to see the 49ers take on the Minnesota Vikings this Saturday, January 11, at 1:35 p.m.
In addition to its regular weekend schedule, Caltrain will provide one additional southbound pre-game express train to the Mountain View Station, which departs from the San Francisco Station at 10:45 a.m. The extra express train will make stops at Millbrae, San Mateo, Hillsdale, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Mountain View and San Jose Diridon stations.
From the Mountain View Station, fans will be able to board Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) light-rail for continuing service to the stadium.
Following the game on Saturday, Caltrain will operate one special northbound train, which will depart the Mountain View Station approximately 75 minutes after the game, or when full. That train will make all local stops to San Francisco, including the Atherton and Broadway stations. Additional details about service on 49ers’ game days can be found here.
In order to avoid the long lines that often accompany major events, passengers are encouraged to use the convenient Caltrain Mobile ticketing app to purchase an Adult Joint Caltrain + VTA Day Pass, which is valid on both transit providers until end of service. Tickets bought on the mobile app are valid upon purchase and cannot be stored for a future date. Caltrain Mobile’s latest update allows users to pay for their parking through the app.
Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system; tickets are not sold on board trains and can be purchased at ticket machines at the stations. Caltrain riders with a Clipper Caltrain Monthly Pass (adults with 2 or more zones and Eligible Discount with any zone) receive a free transfer to VTA local and light rail.
Caltrain reminds fans to drink responsibly and to remember that alcohol is not allowed onboard beginning at 9 p.m. Food and beverages aren’t allowed on VTA.
Parking at Caltrain stations costs $5.50 for the day, and permits can be purchased at Caltrain station ticket machines or through Caltrain Mobile. Caltrain paid parking rules are enforced all day.

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.
