More Five Places to Get Out on the Water Along the Capitol Corridor Route
There are many sustainable and enjoyable alternatives to driving; the Capitol Corridor is one, and biking is anotherโ together, they’re a match made in heaven! We have long offered bike-friendly accommodations on board our trains, and more recently expanded convenient bike storage at our stations as well. One in ten Capitol Corridor riders also rides a bike as part of their travel, and that number is growing! In May, we demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the Northern Californian biking community at Bike to Work Day events on board our trains and along the route.
