Bay Area transit agencies add service to get fans to Valkyries' parade in San Francisco

Bay Area transit agencies are preparing for large crowds Wednesday as fans head to San Francisco to celebrate the Golden State Valkyries historic WNBA championship with a parade at noon. The Valkyries captured their first WNBA championship after defeating the Atlanta Dream 68-63 in Game 7 of the Finals at Chase Center on Saturday, becoming the first expansion team in the league to win a championship in their second season. Caltrain, BART and SamTrans are encouraging fans to take public transportation to avoid traffic and parking challenges during the celebration. Caltrain will run two additional special trains for the parade. The northbound train 901 will leave San Jose Diridon Station at 9:13 a.m., making all regular stops before reaching San Francisco. After the parade, the southbound train 902 will leave San Francisco Station at 2:40 p.m. and make local stops. Caltrain will also run two afternoon trains as locals to handle crowds. Train 914 will depart San Francisco
