December 12, 1991: State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak®) initiate the Capitol Corridor intercity train service with 6 daily trains between San Jose and Sacramento.

A new daily express bus service provides 3 daily round trips from Monterey and Salinas, with stops at the Gilroy and Morgan Hill Caltrain stations. Caltrain passengers with a three-zone or greater monthly pass ride the service free.

May 1, 1971: Amtrak takes over operation of the nation's intercity passenger trains. The northern terminal of the Coast Daylight to Los Angeles is changed to Oakland from San Francisco so as to go through to Seattle. Southern Pacific's Del Monte, which ran from San Francisco to Monterey, is discontinued altogether. As a result, commuter trains become the only rail passenger service between San Francisco and San Jose.
