"Perhaps anticipating a rush of riders, Amtrak is making some major changes to accommodate the busy weekend. On Feb. 8, Amtrak will temporarily require reservations for its popular Capitol Corridor route, which runs from San Jose to Auburn, according to an Amtrak travel advisory. The route from Auburn makes several stops in the Bay Area, including Richmond, Emeryville, Oakland and Fremont, before reaching Santa Clara. The route usually doesn't require a reservation."
"Amtrak has also adjusted logistics and some train schedules to accommodate an expected influx of riders. Westbound trains 729, 733 and 737 will arrive at Santa Clara-Great America before the game, which is slated to start at 3:30 p.m. Departing the station after the game are eastbound trains 746, 748 and 750 and westbound train 747. Train 736 will remain canceled until March 1."
"Train 736 will remain canceled until March 1. Amtrak is also moving its parking, shuttles and ride-hailing lots to 2111 West Tasman Drive, accessible from Tasman Drive at the Lick Mill Blvd. intersection and from Calle Del Mundo. A mobility shuttle is available upon request for passengers who need additional assistance. Amtrak also warns that it's restricting bike access, and cyclists will have to use a detour."
Public transportation offers a way to avoid street closures and parking difficulties on Super Bowl Sunday. Amtrak will require reservations on Feb. 8 for the Capitol Corridor route between San Jose and Auburn and will not honor tickets for other dates or trains, including monthly, multi-ride, and Tap2Ride tickets. The Santa Clara-Great America stop is a five-minute walk from the stadium. The Capitol Corridor carried over 1.1 million riders in 2025, a 10.3% increase from 2024 and ranked as the sixth-busiest route. Amtrak adjusted schedules with specific trains timed before and after the game, canceled train 736 until March 1, relocated parking and shuttle lots to 2111 West Tasman Drive, provides mobility shuttles on request, and is restricting bike access with a detour.
