Important Reminder - Capitol Corridor Transfers
WestCAT accepts County Connection and Tri-Delta Transit transfers with no additional fare at shared stops in Martinez only.
Regarding "Capitol Corridor" train transfers: they are accepted on all WestCAT local and express routes with the exception of WestCAT's Transbay Lynx and Dial-A-Ride services. The transfer is free if properly validated. Upon boarding present the transfer to the transit operator who will place it into the fare-box where applicable.
