Bayshore station (Caltrain)

Bayshore is a Caltrain commuter rail station on the border of San Francisco, California and Brisbane, California. The parking lot and about the northern fourth of the platforms are in the Visitacion Valley District of San Francisco; the remainder is in Brisbane. The official address is in San Francisco.Like most Caltrain stations it is not staffed with ticket sellers; passengers buy tickets from machines.Station amenitiesCaltrain Ticket MachinesCaltrain 8-Ride Ticket ValidatorsPedestrian walkway above tracks to cross to the opposite platform.Platforms and tracksFour tracks pass through, two in the middle and two side tracks for trains stopping at the station. During commute hours on weekdays, some trains are scheduled to wait at Bayshore on the side tracks until the Baby Bullet passes on the bypass track. A centerline fence prevents passengers from running across the four rails.Unbuilt connection to MuniMuni intended to establish another light rail connection to the Bayshore station at Visitacion Valley in southern San Francisco with its new Third Street light rail extension. However, during the CTX Project, the Bayshore station was moved from San Francisco down south toward San Mateo County—currently, the platform itself is in Brisbane while the main parking lot is in San Francisco. To complicate matters, this connection has also been plagued by cost and design issues. The Third Street extension opened in early 2007 without the connection. Two proposed development projects adjacent to the station, the Visitacion TOD Project and the Brisbane Baylands, could hasten the planning and conversion of the Bayshore Station into an Intermodal Transit Station.
