This Friday, the Golden State Warriors take on the Los Angeles Lakers at San Jose’s SAP Center as LeBron James tries on a new jersey in his attempt to dethrone our local dynasty. If you’re lucky enough to have tickets, Caltrain will drive you all the way to the hoop.
Caltrain’s weekday schedule includes plenty of trains that will arrive in San Jose for the game. The last train departs the San Jose Diridon Station at 10:30 p.m. Should the game run long or go into overtime, the train will depart 15 minutes right after the game ends, but will depart no later than 10:45 p.m. The train makes all regular local stops.
Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system. Tickets aren’t sold onboard trains but can be purchased at station ticket machines. In order to avoid the long lines that often accompany major events, passengers are encouraged to buy a Day Pass or use the Caltrain Mobile ticketing app. Tickets bought on the mobile app are valid as soon as they are purchased and cannot be stored for a future date.
Caltrain reminds fans to drink responsibly and to remember that alcohol is not allowed on game-day trains beginning at 9 p.m.
Parking at Caltrain stations costs $5.50 for the day, and permits can be purchased at Caltrain station ticket machines. Paid parking rules are enforced throughout the 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 limited commute service to Gilroy. Caltrain enjoyed more than five years of consecutive monthly ridership increases, surpassing more than 65,000 average weekday riders. 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 system, reduce diesel emissions by 97 percent by 2040 and add more service to more stations.
