    A friend and I had a meeting in Fresno on Saturday morning. Neither of us particularly wanted to drive so I suggested we take the train. The station in Jack London Square, Oakland was clean and beautiful. The train arrived a few minutes early, left exactly on time and provided live updates the entire journey. We got to be on a brand new train. The seats are comfortable, the windows are big and the scenery is magnificent. It was also very affordable and there were many convenient departures. Cannot recommend enough.

    I noticed that a few people gave the Amtrak San Joaquins poor reviews. Fortunately, I missed the drawbacks that others suffered through, so I can only report my experience. I scheduled and bought my ticket online which was extremely easy and convenient. Not to mention, reasonably priced! I had to leave from Elk Grove which required that I board a bus at an Amtrak only bus stop. From there, passengers were transported to the Stockton train station. As I got off the bus to wait for the train, I didn't face any rude people, transients, or any other scary situations. The train arrived on time, and was pretty full with passengers, but luckily, I found a seat and was able to place my pack back in an upper compartment & small piece of luggage at my feet. I was quite comfortable with plenty of leg room! I'm glad I decided to travel light, since people were having a hard time storing large bags in the luggage racks. My round trip train ride was relaxing and uneventful. The conductors were helpful and friendly. After checking my ticket, they place another ticket above your head to show that you are the occupant of that seat. I was impressed that the overhead announcements were loud and clear enough for passengers to hear! We always knew in advance when and where the next stop was going to happen, so you could prepare in advance to disembark. I also appreciated that Amtrak offers free WiFi and outlets near the window seats to plug in laptops and charge cell phones! There is also a food & beverage car. Restrooms are small! The San Joaquins has a long list of cities that it ventures through which makes it nice and convenient for many of us! Of the places I recall, you can travel to: Bakersfield, Corcoran, Fresno, Madera, Merced, Turlock/Denair, Modesto, and Stockton. When I first decided to take this train trip, I was nervous and worried that It would be a complicated endeavor. But Amtrak had it all organized for me with straight forward directions. They also promise to send updates via email & text message if necessary. I really enjoyed my mini vacation and now I'm thinking of ways for more train destinations in the future!

    SJ 703. Awesome trip. The train is my favorite mode of transportation. Plus I love the lady working in the cafe car. She's so nice.

Ummmm ok so my 2 daughters are supposed to just starve.so my wife ask to speak to a manager.Soooo this is where "Leilani" the manager comes in and apologized that they ran out of food in the kitchen (unbelievable)at this point my wife and daughters are over it and just ready to get off this train,and Leilani PROMISED my full $320 refund 3-5 days LOL it's been 8 days. So my wife gets a number to call someone name (Charlene) for my refund and Charlene says upper management will reach out to us,so far no one has reached out and I'm out $320 still....that is a lot a money to spend on a nightmare train ride and a half eaten Togo brunch meal....bottom line I may not get my money back but it's worth letting others know how horrible and not worth this River fox brunch train is River fox brunch train management needs to steps it up because this is not acceptable and not fair to honest paying customers...vary disappointed Only gave star because I have to and I couldn't give them a negative sorry ‍

Entering I noticed an employee that I rarely see anymore that's always friendly, willing to help you (unlike most employees there), and always smiling. I said hello told her I haven't seen her and continued on with my shopping. Upon reaching the register I go to her register where she and a lady with a bob stood. I am assuming they were in the process of swooping cashiers. The old lady with the sandy color bob might be the manager should have been managing instead of antagonizing her and detouring us to the other cashier. The cashier did walk away to Escalade the situation but older lady could have handled this better she's not her daughter. As she walked away the older lady was still passive aggressively talking at her then pulled her in the office with a scene that was unnecessary and degrading in my opinion. I waited in line for 5+ minutes because the manager poorly handled this. 1.the oncoming drawer should have been counted and ready to go before anything, enabling a smooth swap and for safety reasons (on coming cashed out her cash teal under not in the counter) 2. communicate with you customers (hello we are swapping cashiers please allow me to assist you over and thank you for your patience) 3. don't embarrass your associates in-front of customers no matter the situation especially if your a leader in the store. I do like that the store is getting cleaner I see A bald guy very nice cleaning all the time and upgrades are happening I believe a man was fixing the door as I was leaving. Do better I go here because it's closer but I might have to drive a little further out because I believe management has the task of creating non hostile environments for employees and that made me uncomfortable.

And have been across the street from where I got off this morning and nothing. The website doesn't even show the stop I'm at. And the number to text is stating unable to show routes at this time. It's really sad I'm sick hence going to Dr, I deal with sciatica, and I'm being cooked by the sun cause some weird reason ALL RTD bus stop in Stockton are directly in the sun with absolutely no coverings. I'm a very disappointed, and now ex customer. Pathetic Bus line is what you guys are.
