Caltrain to introduce Muni Sticker

Caltrain customers who also commute on Muni have a bargain coming their way.

Beginning Jan. 1, Caltrain will sell a new, discounted Muni sticker, replacing the Peninsula Pass, which was eliminated following a public hearing.

The goal of the new sticker program is to provide a better value to customers transferring between the two systems. The stickers go on sale, along with Caltrain’s monthly passes, Dec. 21 at a cost of $35, a $10 discount over the cost of a regular Muni Fast Pass.

The Muni sticker will not be valid for use on any Muni cable car.

SamTrans and VTA allow customers presenting a two-zone or greater Caltrain Monthly Pass a local fare credit on each agency’s transit services.

Caltrain is a tri-county partnership of San Francisco Municipal Railway, San Mateo County Transit District and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. Caltrain operates 86 weekday trains between San Francisco and San Jose, with commute-hour service to Gilroy. A total of 62 trains offer service on weekends.

For fare information, please call 1.800.660.4287 or for the hearing-impaired (TDD only) 650.508.6448.
