Yesterday’s remnant of a system timetable didn’t include the commuter trains SP ran between San Francisco, San Jose, and Los Gatos. They had their own timetable, such as the one shown here.

SP ran 22 weekday trains each way (plus the Coast Daylight) between San Francisco and San Jose. A dozen trains ran on Saturdays and nine on Sundays (again, plus the Coast Daylight). Fares used the same zone system introduced in 1957 and ranged from 70¢ to $1.75 (up from 37¢ to $1.30 in 1957). Inflation in that time period was 24 percent, so fares were growing faster than inflation.
