Problem with this station is that there are no vending machines and not knowing the area. Hard to venture out with luggage in tow to look for edibles. No luggage check ins here. My bus was delayed but no announcements were made. A lady employee finally came out to tell passengers there is delay due to traffic but no eta for bus. After that, no more updates. Bus came 1 1/2 hours later with passengers standing around. Where was the customer service? This station. Is not busy with lines of passengers making inquiries and there were two employees.

It's also at the transit center so you can also take local buses and the Amtrak trains. There is a parking lot on-site where you can park and ride for $5.50 all day. Depending on which zone you're getting on and off will determine the price that you pay. Just remember that you need to pay before you board. You can scan your Clipper card at their kiosks or buy one on-site. Pro tip: if you have an iPhone you can set up a digital transit card and refill your transit card with your credit card. If you're going northbound you'll have to go under the tunnel to get to the right platform. This is a pretty big station and was pretty clean.

Yes it can be a long ride but that's why you take the bullet (which makes less stops.) Advantages: - If you live in South SJ you can get to this Cal Train station without the fwy. I take Almaden Expressway all the way down there. - FREE PARKING! Which is WAY better than $4 a day at DT SJ Diridon Station. This is great since sometimes I spend the night in the city and have left my car and its been fine. - Plenty of parking. Even when you get to the station somewhat late you can park your car in the dirt area like others do. Be careful of the deep holes tho! Don't mess up your car. - Right next to VTA for those people that take the Light Rail Disadvantages: - No restrooms - It gets really deserted at times and I've seen shattered glass before (thinking someone's car got broken into) - Not all trains go to Tamien so sometimes I do have to suck it up and drive to the DT station

There's never any parking on the other side of the train station (on Lick Ave, with the children's center), however, there is ample parking on the other side near the Hwy 87 entrance.

I'm torn between giving this station a four or perfect five star review. The reason why I gave this a perfect rating was because the schedule was accurate (round trip) and the inside of the Light Rail was clean and odorless. The announcements for each stop was clear and precise. Pay station was in working condition....accepts cash and credit cards. It's $1.25 for a one way trip. You have the option to buy day passes as well. This is a great transportation system to get you around the city. Even better since it makes a stop for Levi's Stadium (Great America stop). Only reason why I would knock off one star was because the St. James station is located in a park where numerous homeless people hang/resides (and a few who's mind isn't "all there"). So be careful of your surroundings, don't get distracted constantly looking down at your phone, be alert at all times. Also pay attention to where you're walking.
