Take Caltrain to Levi's Stadium this Sunday

Announcement from Caltrain:

Caltrain will be providing special service to the San Francisco 49ers’ long-awaited debut at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday.

The 49ers will square off against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos at 1 p.m. on Sunday—the preseason home opener for the team and the first football game ever played at the new stadium in Santa Clara.

Caltrain will provide two special southbound trains to the Mountain View station, departing from San Francisco at 9:35 a.m. and 9:55 a.m. From the Mountain View Caltrain Station, fans will be able to board Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) light-rail vehicles to the stadium. Those trips will take about a half hour.

Following the game, Caltrain will operate two special northbound trains. The first train will depart 45 minutes after the game, or when full, and the second train will depart about one hour after the match, or when full. Both trains will make all local stops to San Francisco. Additional details about service on 49ers’ game days can be found here.

After reaching the Super Bowl and the NFC Championship Game the past two seasons, the 49ers will be looking to capture their elusive sixth Super Bowl title this year. The 49ers’ regular season begins on Sept. 7 with a game against the Dallas Cowboys. Their regular season home opener is on Sept. 14 against the Chicago Bears.

Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system; tickets are not sold on board trains but can be purchased at ticket machines at the stations. Fans are encouraged to purchase an adult joint Caltrain/VTA Day Pass at Caltrain ticket machines to avoid long lines after the game. The pass costs $6 more than the regular adult Caltrain Day Pass, but it is valid for unlimited rides within zone limits on Caltrain through the last train of the day and until 3 a.m. on VTA.

Food and beverage consumption aren’t allowed on VTA.
