Other Transit Options

Riders coming from San Francisco should take Caltrain home or ensure they take the 11:51pm BART train home. Caltrain is providing one extra local train from Mountain View to San Francisco 75 minutes after the show ends or when the train is full.  BART is not keeping any San Francisco stations open beyond normal closing hours due to the lack of parking lots at SF stations and because Caltrain is providing this special service. 

Capitol Corridor is also offering special train service that departs at 11:59pm from their Great America (GAC) station. Capitol Corridor has stops next to BART's Coliseum and Richmond stations.  

Other Tips

Parking is free at all BART stations except Milpitas and Berryessa (which are operated by VTA) on Saturday, September 16.

Before you leave home put a Clipper card on your cellphone through either Apple Pay or Google Pay. Clipper is waiving the $3 new-card fee for riders who add either of the mobile options. Please ensure you have sufficient funds for a round trip. Plan at the cost of your trip in advance.
