There’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and a St. Patrick’s Day Parade at the end of the Caltrain line in San Francisco on Saturday, March 15. The parade starts at 11:30 a.m. at Second and Market Streets and is expected to run until 2 p.m. Caltrain will be running trains every half hour as part of its regular weekend service.
To save time on the return trip, passengers are encouraged to buy a Day Pass or utilize the Caltrain mobile app available on the App Store or Google Play. Clipper card users are reminded to tap on and tap off. Visit caltrain.com/Clipper for more details.
Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system; tickets are not sold onboard trains. Day Passes purchased through the mobile app are valid on the day of purchase through the end of the service day. Clipper START riders can ride for 50% off a standard fare. Youth Fares are also $1 one way or $2 day passes for passengers 18 and under.
Parking at Caltrain stations costs $5.50 for the day, and permits can be purchased using the Caltrain mobile app or through ticket machines onsite. The mobile app can be used immediately after parking, as it requires a space number. Paid parking rules are enforced throughout the day, including weekends and holidays.
Caltrain reminds customers that open alcoholic beverages are prohibited on the trains beginning at 9 p.m. on special event days and nights.
