No clipper card service on the platform which is quite unreasonable for such a massive station. If…read moreyou drop off your car at any one of the dealerships on capital auto mall it would be so nice to walk to the station from the west entrance and take the escalator up to platform between the highway 87 lanes. What you'll find is that you'll have to go back down and find the ticket kiosk which is actually towards the East entrance and then find your way back to platform. Hopefully not missing the next train in the process . Buyers remorse overall as I should have taken a Lyft. Way too noisy and so little train activity even at high noon on a weekday

Gah. Ghastly. I was just so lucky to live a 15-minute walk from this transit center in San Jose,…read morewith buses all around the South Bay at my finger tips. Not! I tried hard to take public transit in San Jose because I had a free bus pass through Americorps and got paid next-to nothing, making it less than gas in my car. But hanging out here waiting for my connection was always a little on the scary side. Getting on bus 22 was an even more special ordeal, considering the characters I met. Most people were just normal folks trying to get to work or the mall or whatever, but the few people who ranted and raved to all of us that the bus looked like Mexico City, or something along those lines, made our trips truly memorable. The area where this center is is not the greatest, the platforms are narrow and lack sufficient protection from the rain, and seating is very limited. The maps and locations of which bus goes there was always very confusing to me, too. I also can't forget the constant delays of buses, which made me late to work many times. If you have the choice, use lightrail or take a different transit center. I grade this one a big fat D.

What now some VTA buses have their own Yelp pages? Back in my high school and De Anza days the 25…read moreline was the best line to see my friends or take a connecting bus. Now this line has gone down in quality for awhile. From what I remember sooner I had to wait longer for a bus to arrive. The last time I took it was in 2018 after a Yelp event and it was cool to see the bus faster near the 5 roads neighborhood (Senter, Story, White, King and Tully roads). The bus drivers on this route are really outgoing and will talk with you. They are experienced too. If you live in Willow Glen this bus does a good job of connecting you with the rest if San Jose. Warning: be aware of your surroundings because some parts of the line are tough to ride through as well as wait for a bus at.

I'm a huge fan of the VTA Bus system here in San Jose. Compared to the CCTA in Walnut Creek, and…read moreMuni in SF these buses are aces. Regularly on time the 25 is one of the better bus routes in the area. It hits Deanza, three light rail stations and a Caltrain station and goes right past the heart of Willow Glen. Whats not to love? The VTA buses are usually clean, well kept (especially compared to Muni) and the drivers are fairly friendly. I love the 25 because it gets me almost anywhere I need to go and it does so on time with a minimum of fuss. That's awesome. Yay Bus 25!

So far there's a consistent 4 in 10 chance that the bus just never shows up despite Transit and Maps saying it did. The other times the bus either shows up early or 10-15 min late. The VTA has probably wasted hours of my time at this point. Honestly my biggest gripe is that if there ISN'T a bus, don't report that there is! I've had several occasions where I just call an Uber after half an hour of waiting or just walk for 1-2 hours to get home. I thought the public transit was terrible in my old city, but my experiences with the VTA have taught me that there is ALWAYS a lower low that the VTA strives hard to reach.

A third time, I figured I'll get to the stop early and catch an earlier bus, to my surprise, that earlier bus never came, so I ended up walking. I understand stuff happens; bus breakdowns, traffic, natural disasters, Keanu Reeves. In addition, several of the bus drivers I have come across are pretty mean or rude. They really don't want to be there, or go about saying or doing some stuff to validate that last point. I suppose I'm looking for a few things when it comes to public transport. 1. Dependable coverage of times 2. Dependable rides to begin with 3. Nice bus drivers There's already a nice system in place, it just needs some polishing.

Sharon was VERY communicative and was quick to respond to all my emails/texts. She made things REALLY easy for me; this made me feel comfortable bc I was not going to be on the actual ride and wanted to make sure my team was taken care of.
