Hotels are booked, restaurants prepping and the city calling itself “Swiftie Clara,” as Taylor Swift’s sold-out tour is expected to bring thousands to Silicon Valley. Stephanie Magallon was at Tuesday’s proclamation to make the star the honorary mayor.
Pop superstar Taylor Swift brings her Eras Tour to the Bay Area with two shows on July 28-29 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, and Valley Transportation Authority says it will have 30% more light-rail service than normal “extra service” for an event like a concert.
A VTA spokesperson says the “extra” extra rail service amounts to about 50% more trains than a normal weekday. VTA expects to transport 15,000 people just for the Taylor Swift concerts – 7,500 going and then 7,500 leaving.
Here's a breakdown of how to get to the stadium:
VTA
Fans in the South Bay can hop on a VTA light-rail train and head toward Great America station. They can also jump on a VTA bus and get dropped off near the stadium. Check out VTA's Levi's Stadium page for detailed information.
Caltrain
Fans living farther away from Santa Clara can hop on Caltrain, get off at the Mountain View station and transfer to VTA in order to get to the stadium. View Caltrain's Levi's Stadium page for more information on game day service.
BART
Fans can also jump on BART, get off at the Warm Springs/South Fremont station and then transfer to a VTA express bus. More details on the transit agency's "Take BART to the game" page.
