Ticket Types
One-way Ticket
Valid for use within four hours of the date and time sold. One-way tickets will be honored for one-way passage away from the point of origin, including stopovers/transfers, within the zone limits.
Day Pass
Day passes are honored for unlimited travel within zone limits. Valid for use through the last train on the service day on which sold.
Caltrain is offering a joint adult Caltrain/VTA Day Pass. The Caltrain portion is valid to Zone 3 - perfect for customers heading to Levi's® Stadium or Great America – and costs an additional $6 compared to a Caltrain Day Pass. The joint pass is valid on Caltrain through the last train of the night and on VTA local buses and light rail until 3 a.m.
8-ride Ticket
This ticket, available only on the Clipper® card, is valid for 30 days from date of purchase within zones indicated on ticket. Customers must tag on at boarding station and tag off at destination station. (Customers making a stopover between their zones should not tag off during validity period, otherwise Clipper will deduct cash, not a ride.) The validation expires after four hours, and trip, including stopovers, must be completed by end of validation period. If traveling in zones other than what's on the ticket, Clipper will deduct cash from the card.
Monthly Pass
The Monthly Pass, available only on the Clipper card, is valid for use for the calendar month for which issued. Monthly passes are honored for unlimited weekday trips between zones indicated on the pass. On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, the pass is honored for unlimited trips between all zones.
Ticket sales start on the 21st of the month and stop on the 15th of the month that the pass is valid. Monthly passes must be tagged by the 15th of the month to activate them, including Autoload customers. Note: If you loaded your card at a retail vendor (such as Whole Foods or Anchor Drugs Pharmacy) or a Clipper Add-value Machine then you don't need to tag (the pass was loaded when the card physically interacted with the Clipper terminal).
Zone Upgrade Ticket
Valid for use within four hours of the date and time sold. Zone Upgrade tickets are valid only when accompanying another valid ticket (One-way, Day Pass or Monthly Pass) and cannot be used alone. The Zone Upgrade ticket will be honored for one-way passage for additional zones purchased beyond the original ticket's zone limits. The Zone Upgrade ticket's validity period does not supercede the original ticket's validity period.
