1. Motorcoach Riders: Show your tickets!
Beginning this week, motorcoach drivers are required to inspect all tickets upon boarding. In order to ride the motorcoach portion of the trip, you must have one of the following along with a valid photo ID:
- Designated ticket for the motorcoach portion of the route
- Ten-ride ticket that includes the motorcoach portion of the route (The motorcoach driver will manually mark off the bus usage on these tickets.)
- Monthly ticket that includes the motorcoach portion of the route

If you are beginning your trip on the motorcoach and do not have a ticket, you must give your photo ID to the driver. Upon arrival to your transfer destination, the driver will escort you to a station agent or QuikTrak machine to purchase a ticket for your full route. Your photo ID will be returned to you at this time.

Capitol Corridor is enforcing this policy for both security and revenue tracking purposes. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

2. Oakland Art & Soul Festival- September 3rd-5th
Meet in Downtown Oakland this Labor Day weekend at Comcast Art & Soul Oakland! Get out of the summer heat, cool off near the bay.
