Caltrain is a train in the Bay Area that connects from SF down to San Jose (and sometimes Gilroy). It also connects to BART at Millbrae.
You can pay for fares with Clipper, just like basically every other transit system in the Bay Area. Just remember to tag on beforehand (otherwise you’ll get a ticket) and tag off once you get off (otherwise you may pay too much).
