Free Coffee and Paper on Caltrain
June 14, 2007

In attempt to promote ridership at some of the less popular stations, Caltrain is offering free coffee and morning paper to riders. The “newspaper, coffee and Caltrain – your day is off to a great start” campaign kicked off on Tuesday at the Hayward Park Station. Unfortunately, according to KCBS the campaign did not show any traction on the first day. The promotion moves to Burlingame on Thursday (June 14th) and then to Palo Alto and Mountain View next week. The promotion runs from 5:45am to 9am each of these days and includes free train ticket raffles.

Admittedly, Caltrain has not done a great job promoting the campaign since there has virtually been no mention on their site or in the local news. However, encouraging public transportation is a worthy cause so let’s try to spread the word for Caltrain. And by the way, if anyone has information on which days the promotion will come to Palo Alto and Mountain View, please drop me a line.
