SamTrans is your connection to the Big Game, events, and concerts at Levi’s® Stadium and around the Bay Area.
SamTrans does not serve Levi’s Stadium directly, but fans and event-goers can still use SamTrans to reach major transfer hubs or Caltrain connection points along the Peninsula. From there, transfer and continue onward to the game using regional transit partners.
Many SamTrans routes serve major Caltrain stations and transit centers, including Redwood City, Menlo Park, and Millbrae. Routes such as 280, 281, 292 and 296 provide service to these locations. Service varies by day and time. Please confirm your trip using the SamTrans trip planner.
From your SamTrans transfer point, ride Caltrain southbound toward Millbrae, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, or San Jose.
Option A: Caltrain + VTA Light Rail (Recommended)
Option B: Caltrain + VTA Bus (Alternate)
If you are starting outside the Peninsula, your trip may include additional regional services:

Paying for Your Trip
SamTrans offers several easy ways to pay your fare when traveling to Super Bowl events.
Buy or Tap Before You Ride!
SamTrans riders can pay their fare in several ways: use a physical Clipper card, use Clipper in a mobile wallet, or tap a contactless credit or debit card, including Apple Pay or Google Pay, or cash (exact change recommended). Visit www.samtrans.com/fares/clipper and samtrans.com/fares for full details on all fare and payment options.
Avoid Ticket Lines — Buy Before You Ride!
Caltrain and VTA recommends pre-purchasing the digital SBLX Caltrain/VTA Day Pass for round-trip travel exclusively on Super Bowl Sunday only. It’s the best way to skip the game-day crowds at ticket machines or avoid having to tap on and off.
To buy a day pass using your phone’s digital wallet and without any need to download a new app, scan here:
You can also download the Token Transit or Transit app, search for “VTA” under transit agency in the Transit app fares menu, then select the “SBLX Caltrain and VTA 1-Day” ticket type.
Visit VTA Super Bowl Service Info to learn more.
Caltrain + VTA Paper Day Passes
Caltrain station ticket machines can also print 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 $7.50 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.
Plan for Crowds and Extra Security
Caltrain connects with the VTA Orange Line at the Mountain View Station. Once at Levi’s Stadium Great America station, enter and exit the stadium through Gate A.
Levi’s Stadium® and surrounding transit stations will be extremely busy before and after Super Bowl events. Give yourself extra time for any ticket purchases, security screening, and transit boarding.
Alcohol Policy
Caltrain reminds customers that open alcoholic beverages are allowed on the trains until 9 p.m. Caltrain encourages riders to drink responsibly.
