Student 6-Ride Ticket Discontinued
The student 6-ride ticket has been discontinued as part of updates to our fare programs. Students can continue to receive 15% off with our current student discount. For added convenience, we recommend using Tap2Ride, our contactless payment option that allows you to simply tap and ride without needing to purchase tickets in advance.


Since Capitol Corridor trains are unreserved, passengers can use a rail ticket at any time, provided it’s within a year of the original travel date indicated on the ticket. If the alternate travel itinerary is more expensive, the higher fare will be charged. Other restrictions may apply to promotional offers, and passengers should refer to the terms and conditions of the offer.
