Caltrain Introduces TransLink

August 18, 2009... Caltrain is seeking participants for the soft launch of the TransLink® system on its rail system.

Rollout participants will receive a free TransLink card with $12.50 in cash value (e-cash) already loaded onto the card. They can then load additional value as needed in the form of three Caltrain products: an adult Caltrain Monthly Pass, adult 8-ride tickets or more e-cash. The program will be expanded in the future to include more fare products.

TransLink can also be used on BART, Muni, AC Transit and Golden Gate Transit and Ferry by adding value accepted by those agencies.
