Connecting Bus Tickets
Capitol Corridor’s service area is extended greatly through a number of dedicated, connecting bus routes to destinations such as San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, and Monterey. If your trip involves a bus connection, your ticket will include the route’s designated bus segment, as well as the rail segment. If you are beginning your trip on a bus without a ticket, you will be required to temporarily surrender your photo ID to the bus driver.
Please note that unless you are traveling between Emeryville and San Francisco, most connecting bus trips require an advance reservation.
Ways to Purchase Tickets
Capitol Corridor tickets can be purchased in the following ways:
- Online from the Capitol Corridor or Amtrak websites,
- from the Amtrak mobile app,
- from a station ticket agent,
- from a station self-service kiosk (Ticket Kiosk), or
- from a conductor on board the train (one-way only; surcharge added unless boarding station is unstaffed.)
Tickets purchased online, from a station ticket agent or at a self-service Ticket Kiosk machine, are issued as electronic tickets, or eTickets. If you book your ticket online, you will receive an email receipt with your eTicket attached as a PDF that can then be printed out or pulled up on your mobile device. If you purchase your ticket from a station agent or Ticket Kiosk machine, you will receive the ticket at the end of your transaction as a paper ticket; it will not be emailed to you. You can also buy your ticket and access it from the Amtrak mobile app. You must show your ticket (paper copy or pulled up on your mobile device) to the train conductor once seated or bus driver upon boarding. You may be asked to present a valid photo ID. Read more about ticket policies.
The only types of tickets that are not issued as eTickets are the following:
- Group tickets
- Tickets purchased on board the train
- Tickets purchased through a travel agency or corporate travel office
