It is also rolling out its Clipper 2.0 system, allowing people to tap to pay fares directly with their credit, debit or wallet card to ride.
“I serve on the VTA Board and one of the big discussions we’re having as we plan for 2026 is to ensure we have higher service levels, particularly around these large sporting events and that we’re able to cover the cost so that it’s not born on the backs of local rate payers,” Mahan said.
Those going to events in San Jose or near Levi’s can also go on foot by walking the Guadalupe Rivel trail which runs alongside many of the sites.
