this is a convenient location four taking the Amtrak train and also for picking up passengers. They have several spots for accessible parking near the terminal building and also ramps. They also have a race lift for helping passengers on wheelchairs to get on the train. There is a café on site that was opened when I was here on a Saturday around noon. They have several garbage cans and the station looked very clean. I also noticed that there is no easy way to go from one side of the station to the other, the only way to cross is by walking all the way to Fremont Boulevard and then crossing there. There are parking lots on both sides of the railroad tracks and they are separated by a fence so like I said, if you need to go to the other side, just walk all the way to Fremont Boulevard and then cross. You have to pay for parking and they have machines where you can pay by using a credit card. They also have a bicycle parking locker and you can pay at the storage container. also, I did not think it was very easy to tell whether trains were running on time or not. There was a sign that was getting updated, but I still found it somewhat confusing. I think it's probably easier just to check the Amtrak app. read more

I'm surprised there's not enough people complaining about not knowing which side the train will arrive on. As long as you assume this is a European stop, then everything is ok. Mostly assume "the left side". Otherwise, be prepared to run across the tracks to the other side. Bring binoculars to confirm the side the train will arrive on. read more

The Capitol Corridor train is the most convenient and enjoyable way to commute to/from Sacramento. Trains headed to Sac generally pick up on the longer "Track 1" (possibly no signage?) directly adjacent to the historic building with the waiting room, cafe, and large covered porch. You'll be able to see the train approaching and will know if you're in the right place. $35 one way, unreserved seating. Tickets can be purchased online, in the app, or from the kiosk in the station. Watch for the prime table spaces to open on the train's upper decks for the nicest ride. read more

Fremont Amtrak - FMT - Train Stations Near Me - Fremont, California

(Review is for the bus stop area near the train station but related to the train) I understand that the train is honking their horn for safely but sometimes they honk it excessively. If the train is coming, you'll need to wait for the bus by the benches away from the bus stop sign. The horn is 80+ dB which your iPhone will make you aware of if you stand by the bus stop sign when the train's horn is blasting and you'll get an excessive noise warning on your phone. I haven't gone on the train but it looks convenient for commuters. read more

Great service on the train and easy access! Definitely better than driving in traffic. Love this route!

I've been taking the train for a little while now. Round trip between Tracy and Fremont. Fremont station is right in the heart of the city downtown centerville district. Every time I go, the homeless group is thick there at the station across the tracks. No issues there, I give them food if I have it. I think they need a little better security though with regards to keeping them out of the ticket booth area and where the riders wait to get on. The little cafe/coffee shop is perfect for when you wait, you can grab a bite to eat or something to drink and they have places to sit as well. Its looks reminds me of the Livermore station. read more

"Oh I swear to ya, tried to be there for ya / This is not a drive-by-y-y-y-yy." ~ inspired by Train I'm not usually inspired by Train, but this is an exception. In my fondest dreams, I roll up to the designated area by the curb, enabling my waiting passenger(s) to jump into my car as I peel out (in a classy manner) for a swift getaway. This station is a killjoy. It's not the most convenient -- you won't be able to swoop by for a pick-up. Intsead, you have to pull into the parking lot of an auto body shop and make sure you stay out of the way of the cars coming and going for repairs. A car nearly backed into mine as I waited to enter the parking lot. On the plus side, your passenger(s) can dine at the Depot Cafe right by the parking lot while waiting for you. This may NOT be to your advantage if you want to get out of there quickstyle! TIP: Check Google maps first. It'll help you find the parking lot. Otherwise be prepared to drive back and forth over the tracks. Ga-dunk-dunk, ga-dunk-dunk. read more

I've had more positive experiences with Amtrak than bad. This is a great alternative to driving the crazy 880 North during the rush hours. They also have bathrooms if you need them too between stops! I love how you can eat on the train as well :) The only downside is that there are only so many trains in a day, so if you miss one, you'll be stuck for another hour or so. Parking - there are two lots. The lot the GPS guides you to is frequently used and I can barely find a spot. It is also a hassle to get out of during rush hours due to traffic on Fremont Blvd. The alternative parking lot is on Peralta next to the dentist. This is more spacious but, you'll have to be careful to not park in marked spots as you will get towed. Food - they have a variety of items for breakfast, snacks and even beer :) always find them in cart 3, upstairs or downstairs depending on the train. Staff - friendly people. Remember, they are service people staffed to ensure your safety so don't be rude and don't make it harder for them. Many many times, the conductors will wait while I run to the train late. They basically save me and for that, I am forever grateful to all of them. Buy your ticket on the app to make things easier and to be able to check train times. They offer multi-ride tickets and monthly passes too. read more

I like this station, it's rather clean and quaint. It's not hard to get to, minutes away from downtown area and has this nostalgic feel of a small town depot during the cowboy and Indian days. Their café/depot spot looks cool, it has a huge patio with cute seats to enjoy coffee and wait at ease for your train. I liked it. read more

Despite the agirt train ramp, which I think is the reason why the Capital Corridor only opens on either car 2 or 1 & 2 only, the Amtrak is a great option for commuters. You can seat comfortably, there are convenient amenities(I.e. Electric outlets, Free wi-fi, clean Restrooms, Cafe, Reclining chairs, dimmed up cars). read more

This is ridiculous. I pay over 230.00 for a monthly ticket to work and NOW I have to pay for PARKING IN FREMONT????!!!! This is SO demeaning, we are just trying to get to work and now have to PAY more money for a crappy parking space!! Makes me so mad that I am now looking for another job so I can quit ACE for good. City of Fremont has plenty of money, now they are stealing it from the ACE riders for their own benefit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes me SICK! read more

Currently completing this review using the free Wifi on the Amtrak train! Overall my experience at the station was good. The parking lot is a bit tricky to find if you do not research it ahead of time, and while I was there, there were no attendants or people to answer any questions. Being that this is my first experience on Amtrak, I had a ton of questions and no one to answer them; luckily I found a nice girl who was able to answer some questions for me. Firstly, this station does not mark which platform is going on what side - I was standing on the incorrect platform until I saw the train going on the opposite direction. Basically, southbound (towards San Jose) is platform one, and northbound (towards Sacramento) is the tiny platform on the other side, platform 2. Once the train arrives, just hop on and grab a seat. The trains are rather nice since they have some seats with tables so that you may eat or work while enjoying your ride. After a few minutes of being on the train, a conductor will walk through and scan your ticket. If you have somewhere to go and don't feel like making the drive, Amtrak is a great alternative, so I highly recommend it! read more

I love the train. After my new job I will be commuting with Amtrak a lot more on the weekends and hopefully continue to see them grow and more schedules open up so hopefully one day I can connect a train all the way to Rocklin regardless of time! Thanks for making my travel to and from the Bay less of a headache. read more

Great stop to go hiking at mission peak. Always easy to use and get tickets. Very clean and always on time.

While I grudgingly accept the inevitability of parking fees, I strongly suggest Fremont make the procedures/kiosks simpler to operate and/or post DETAILED instructions. The first and only time I used the system I thought I had done everything correctly. Apparently I had not. On arriving home I found a nasty warning on my windshield. read more
