Caltrain, SamTrans Adjust Schedule For Thanksgiving Holiday

From Caltrain: Caltrain and SamTrans will operate on a Sunday schedule for the Thanksgiving holiday on November 23. 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. 23

Caltrain will operate a regular Sunday schedule of 24 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. 24

Caltrain will run a modified schedule with 36 trains operating between San Francisco and San Jose. The modified schedule is Saturday service with four extra trains in each direction, including one-round trip from Gilroy. Complete details on Caltrain’s modified schedule can be found here. SamTrans will operate its regular service schedule, but will not run routes that serve local schools.
