Know Before You Go: Taking Caltrain To Super Bowl Events

If you plan on taking a trip to the Bay Area this weekend to check out all the great Super Bowl 50 celebrations happening in the Bay Area, you may want to save yourself some energy by leaving the car at home.

If you're staying in the Bay Area and want to get to your Super Bowl festivities without the traffic, Caltrain might be your best bet. The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad Company provides rail service along the San Francisco Peninsula, through the South Bay to San Jose and Gilroy.
