This traditional commuter rail line runs along the Peninsula into Silicon Valley, from San Francisco to San Jose with limited continuing service to Gilroy. CalTrain (www.caltrain.com, fares vary $2.25–11/one-way) “Baby Bullet” trains can get you from San Jose to San Francisco in under an hour during commuter hours.
Extra trains are often added for San Francisco Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and San Jose Sharks games.
You must purchase a ticket in advance at the vending machines in all stations, or get your 10-ride card stamped before you board a train. The San Francisco main CalTrain station sits at the corner of 4th Street and King Street, within walking distance of AT&T Park and Moscone Center.
