Amtrak Information

Line 55 will serve as the Amtrak Thruway for the San Jose-Monterey route. Amtrak will sell tickets to or from all points on line 55 only when connecting to or from Amtrak services at San Jose. Fares charged by Amtrak will be identical to those charged at the farebox by MST. Amtrak passengers may take advantage of discount programs offered through Amtrak. When boarding the line 55 coach, Amtrak passengers will be instructed to insert the ticket stub into the farebox and retain the long portion of the ticket as the receipt.

Line 55 connects with Amtrak at San Jose Diridon Station. For more information about Amtrak, visit the Amtrak, Amtrak California, and Capitol Corridor web sites. Amtrak does not sell tickets at any line 55 stop except San Jose Diridon Station. Passengers may purchase tickets in advance through Amtrak’s tickets-by-mail program online or by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL (872-7245).

Amtrak Connections Policy

Line 55 drivers will normally hold up to 10 minutes for late southbound Amtrak connections at San Jose. Amtrak will normally hold northbound connections up to 10 minutes for late line 55 operations. There may be exceptions on a case-by-case basis; Amtrak Thruway services are considered “guaranteed” connections and Amtrak is obligated to accommodate thru passengers ticketed as such. Any customer service issues related to tickets sold by Amtrak must be handled through Amtrak.

Connections are not guaranteed or otherwise coordinated between line 55 and Caltrain or VTA services.

Greyhound

MST does not coordinate schedules or ticketing with Greyhound. However, Greyhound’s San Jose station is a half-block north of the line 55 stop at San Fernando and Almaden Avenue. There is also a Salinas station one block south of the Salinas Transit Center served by MST local routes. For more information about Greyhound, visit the Greyhound web site.
