The Sacramento TMA Online Newsletter - Capitol Corridor

Back to main newsletter

Amtrak Train 518

Amtrak Capitol Corridor offers service that makes 12 daily trips between Auburn and the Bay Area. Trains run seven days a week, including holidays.

The Capitol Corridor is a great way to get to work between Auburn and Roseville to Sacramento and beyond. Look for amenities such as complimentary newspapers, a "quiet car", wireless internet, and bike racks on board to make your trip more enjoyable.

Do you commute from the Bay Area or Solano County?  Why not "hop aboard" and try the Amtrak Capitol Corridor train?  Commuting by train offers the speed of automotive travel without the stress of driving.  Sit back, relax, and watch the scenery go by, or catch an extra nap, read, work, chat, knit--whatever you'd like. You can even play darts in the Club Car.

So if you commute from the vicinity of Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley, Richmond, Martinez, Suisun-Fairfield, or Davis, and you prefer to start work around 8:00 AM, consider taking Amtrak.
