Once at the San Francisco Caltrain Station, passengers can transfer to Muni’s 30-Stockton bus for a connection to the Marina Green, where most of the week’s festivities will take place. Muni’s E-Embarcadero historic streetcar line is an option as well, as it runs from the San Francisco Caltrain Station to Fisherman’s Wharf.

San Francisco’s Fleet Week includes a parade of naval ships, tours of vessels, and, of course, aerial shows from the world famous Blue Angels flight exhibition team.

Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system: Tickets are not sold onboard trains, but can be purchased at vending machines at the stations. To save time on the return trip, passengers can buy day passes. Clipper card users (cash value and eight-ride tickets) are reminded to tag on and tag off. As a reminder, no open alcohol will be permitted on trains after 9 p.m.
