| − | Caltrain Fares are determined by the number of zones you are traveling.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are 4 types of tickets:
| |
| − | # '''One-Way Ticket''' - Valid for 4 hours after purchase within the zones and in the direction indicated.
| |
| − | # '''Day Pass''' - Valid for unlimited rides on the day of purchase between the zones indicated.
| |
| − | # '''10-Ride Ticket''' - Good for 60 days from the day and time purchased, but must be validated each time (using the validators at every station) before boarding the train. Each time your ticket is validated, travel is good in any direction between the zones and time indicated. A '''10-Ride Ticket''' may also be used for multiple riders, but must be stamped for every rider on every trip.
| |
| − | # '''Monthly Pass''' - Valid for unlimited travel between the zones indicated during the month. On weekends and major holidays, it is good for unlimited travel in all fare zones.

| |
| − | If you want travel to a station and your Ticket doesn't include that stations zone, purchase a '''Zone Upgrade''', which must be used with a Valid Caltrain Ticket. A zone upgarde allows you to to travel from a station from any of the zones indicated on your Caltrain Ticket to any station located in any of the zones that are within number of zones on your '''Zone Upgrade''' your station is loctated away from. For example, if I have a Day Pass from Zone 3 to Zone 2, I'm in Palo Alto, but I want to go to San Jose, I would purchase a '''1-Zone Upgrade''' which would allow me to Travel to San Jose in Zone 4 or San Francisco in Zone 1 for up to 4 hours. Likewise, if I was in San Jose, with the Same ticket, and I wanted to go to San Francisco, I would purchase a '''2-Zone Upgrade'''.
