With Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets tallying up to $1,000 and more, it’s not a bad idea to try and save money elsewhere, like transportation.

The Capitol Corridor train could help you save a few dollars by offering rides to concertgoers from Sacramento to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, where Taylor Swift is performing July 28 and 29.

The train is adjusting its schedule for the two days, according to a news release, allowing passengers to arrive ahead of the concert and leave shortly after. But it advises that it may take at least 30 minutes to get to the station after the concert due to crowds.

The shows are estimated to start at 6:30 p.m. and end at 11 p.m.

How much are the train tickets?

Each ride in a coach seat is $36, totaling $72 for a round trip.

You can buy them online.

What is the train schedule?

For both days, the train in Sacramento will depart from the Sacramento Valley Station (SAC) at 401 I St. and arrive at Great America Station (GAC) in Santa Clara.

Departures and arrivals after the concert will be at the same stations.
