Caltrain goes direct to San Francisco Giants home games. The railroad depot is one block away from the ballpark. For weekday games, fans have a choice of seven regularly scheduled trains that arrive in San Francisco before first pitch. On Sundays, trains run hourly. In addition, a special train departs San Jose at 9:56 a.m., arriving in San Francisco at 11:20 a.m. After the games, two special trains depart San Francisco for the return trip. An express train to San Carlos leaves approximately 15 minutes after the last out or when full, and then makes all local stops after San Carlos to San Jose. The second train departs San Francisco 25 minutes after the game, or when full, and serves all local stops to San Jose, including Broadway and Atherton on weekends. Caltrain reminds fans to drink responsibly; alcohol is not allowed on game-day trains after 9 p.m. Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system; tickets are not sold onboard trains but can be purchased at vending machines at the stations or at the San Francisco or San Jose ticket offices. To save time on the return trip, fans are encouraged to buy a Day Pass (round trip ticket). Caltrain baseball service brochures are available on trains or at http://www.caltrain.com/giants_service_2010.html.
