Peninsula Moves!

Fans of high-wire acrobatics don’t have to tie themselves into knots getting to the Cirque de Soleil: Luzia shows at AT&T Park this holiday season—Caltrain will provide an easy and stress-free trip to the performances.

The famous Canadian entertainment troupe will be setting up shop in Parking Lot A at AT&T Park, which is just a block away from the San Francisco Caltrain Station. The two-month extravaganza kicks off this Thursday and will last through January 29.

Curtains will open for the production at 4:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, and 1:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. Caltrain’s weekday and weekend schedules provide plenty of travel options for patrons going to the show.

Luzia, this year’s production of Cirque du Soleil, will take event-goers on an imaginary, surrealist journey through Mexico. Inspired by the migration of the Monarch Butterfly, which annually travels from Canada to Mexico, Luzia will incorporate those majestic movements into the troupe’s legendary displays of gravity-defying movements and visually-arresting set displays.

Caltrain is a proof-of-payment system; tickets are not sold onboard trains but can be purchased at vending machines at the stations. To save time on the return trip, attendees are encouraged to buy a Day Pass. Clipper card users (cash value and 8-ride tickets) are reminded to tag on and tag off.

Parking at Caltrain stations costs $5.50 for the day, and permits can be purchased at station ticket machines. Paid parking rules are enforced throughout the day.

About Caltrain: Owned and operated by the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, Caltrain provides commuter rail service from San Francisco to San Jose, with limited commute service to Gilroy. Caltrain enjoyed five years of consecutive monthly ridership increases, surpassing more than 60,000 average weekday riders earlier this year. While the Joint Powers Board assumed operating responsibilities for the service in 1992, the railroad celebrated 150 years of continuous passenger service in 2014. Planning for the next 150 years of Peninsula rail service, Caltrain is on pace to electrify the system, reduce diesel emissions by 97 percent by 2040 and add more service to more stations.
