APEC Economic Leaders’ Week will be held in San Francisco the week of November 11-19, 2023. Capitol Corridor connecting buses between Emeryville and San Francisco may be impacted by traffic congestion due to the event. There may be times during this week that connecting buses between San Francisco and Emeryville may miss their connections and passengers will need to take the next available train.

The last eastbound (towards Sacramento) Capitol Corridor train of the night will hold for late incoming bus connection from San Francisco.

Passengers are advised to transfer at Richmond Station and take BART to/from San Francisco. The San Francisco connecting bus stop is a 5-minute walk to the Montgomery BART station.

UPDATE 11/2/2023:

This issue is fixed and customers can now book multi-ride tickets for trips that include a connecting bus. We sincerely thank our riders for their patience.

——————————————————————–

Resulting from a simplified fare structure change Amtrak implemented last week, we are working on a technical issue concerning booking multi-ride tickets that involve a connecting bus service, including to San Francisco (SFC).

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may experience and are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. If booking a trip to the San Francisco (SFC) bus stop using a multi-ride ticket, please consider booking to Richmond (RIC) instead and transfer to BART which serves multiple San Francisco stops.

We will continually communicate updates.

Allow extra time to navigate construction and board your train.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
