New Schedule + Multi-Ride Fare Increase

June 11, 2019

On Monday, June 17, 2019, a new schedule will go into effect for the Capitol Corridor’s train and bus services, reducing overall train travel time between Sacramento and San Jose by approximately five minutes. Departure and/or arrival times will change by at least one minute, in some cases 15 minutes, for all weekday trains as well as many weekend trains.

Bus Schedules and New Signs
Some bus schedules will also be adjusted, but only to allow for a seamless connection to or from the rescheduled trains. Bus passengers may also notice our newly-designed signage at bus stops along the route! Instead of an image of the schedule (that needs to be replaced every year or so), the signs now have a QR code that links to the schedule on our website. This helps us save money on printing, as well as installation time!

Multi-Ride Fares to Increase Saturday, June 15
The fares for Capitol Corridor 45-day tickets and monthly tickets will increase on Saturday, June 15, by approximately two percent, as outlined in the Capitol Corridor’s Annual Business Plan. No fare increases are planned in FY 2019-20 for single-ride tickets. The fare charts for multi-ride tickets will be updated soon on the Capitol Corridor website.
