Caltrain Adjusts Thanksgiving Holiday Schedule

SANTA CLARA and SAN MATEO COUNTIES, CA – Caltrain and SamTrans will operate on a Sunday schedule for the Thanksgiving holiday on Nov. 24. For the first time, Caltrain will run a modified schedule on the day after Thanksgiving, giving commuters more service than normal, and consumers a few more travel options for the busiest shopping day of the year.

Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 24
Caltrain will operate a regular Sunday schedule of 32 trains between San Francisco and San Jose, with shuttle service to and from the Tamien station. Train service will not operate south of San Jose. The schedule will include Weekend Baby Bullet trains in the morning and early evening. SamTrans will operate its regular Sunday service, which is less frequent than the weekday schedule and does not include routes that specifically serve schools or do not operate on a normal Sunday.

Day After Thanksgiving, Friday, Nov. 25
Caltrain will run a modified schedule with 48 trains operating between San Francisco and San Jose. The modified schedule is Saturday service with six extra trains in each direction, including one-round trip from Gilroy. In the past, Caltrain ran just a regular Saturday schedule for the day after Thanksgiving.

SamTrans will operate its regular service schedule, but will not run routes that serve local schools.
