Coach Class Seating on Unreserved Services

Coach class features wide, comfortable reclining seats with ample legroom. There is also a fold-down tray, individual reading light, and a 120v electric outlet at each seat. Other onboard amenities include restrooms in each coach, overhead baggage storage and complimentary WiFi.

The Pacific Surfliner and Capitol Corridor routes offer unreserved coach seating, which provides maximum flexibility when deciding on your travel travel. Unreserved coach tickets allow you to take an earlier or later train, or even ride at a later date, without having to make a change to the reservation. Your ticket is valid for travel between the listed station pair up to one year from the date of the reservation (with certain restrictions). 

Seating in coach class on unreserved trains is not guaranteed. Pacific Surfliner passengers can to Business Class (for an additional cost), which offers a guaranteed seat, as well as other perks like complimentary snacks and drinks.

Business Class and Thruway Bus tickets are linked to specific trains/buses, so you will need to modify your reservation (at no cost) in advance if your trip includes these services. 

 

Pet Reservations

Unreserved trains require pet reservations. Your pet reservation is only valid for the date specified on your ticket. This type of reservation is less flexible than standard unreserved tickets.
