Very impressed with Caltrain. I had a hiccup purchasing my ticket via mobile app. Mostly user…read moreerror, as I wasn't aware I could not purchase tickets in advanced as they expire. It's not like BART where you could add money. I took my bike on the train to work for the first time to participate with the annual "Bike To Work Day" presented by Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition. I think it would help you if you watch YouTube videos at Caltrain website to give you more details of the dos and don'ts. Of course I didn't, so there are rules that I learned during my ride. For example, make sure to get a yellow tag for your bike and mark your destination. For example, "San Mateo to Mountain View." This will help other riders placed their bikes with the same destination next to yours. Also, look for train cars with a bike icon, and know ahead which train # stops at your final destination. Overall, my experience was fantastic. Customer service on the phone and email was also excellent. Cheers!

Since there aren't many points of references, make sure you're on the right side of the platform! In terms of parking, it exists, but not a whole lot, though I'm not sure how busy this station gets in general. Also, keep in mind that is it usually pay to park at Caltrain stations.

Public transit option from Caltrain to San Francisco International Airport…read more I highly recommend this option to get to the airport. You can take it from downtown San Francisco to the airport. Also, if you are in the South Bay, you can take Caltrain to Milbrae and then transfer to BART for a short ride to the airport.

This is my first week riding this shuttle. It has been reliable but as with all things "Caltrain"…read morehas a nonsensical schedule. I guess they changed the schedule first thing Monday, March the 2nd, the day I needed to start taking it. They have a 40 minute break period in between shuttle routes between 7:40am and 8:21am. No one wants to go to work then do they? Geez!! Caltrain!! I had to stop taking it months ago and now rely on the shuttle to get to BART. Fortunately, there is only that one break and the shuttle runs pretty regularly every other 15 mins intervals and the man who drives the bus is so kind and explains everything to you. Today he handed me a schedule and asked me to leave him a good review which I'm doing because people complain like it's his fault his supervisors mess with the schedule. Reliable, efficient, CLEAN, take it.

So, I'm grateful that Caltrain has this shuttle during commute hours on the weekdays. Especially…read morewhen I have to leave from work early because I'm not feeling well or some such thing. However, the afternoon driver is the MOST MISERABLE person to walk the face of the earth. I've come across homeless people who are more personable than he. He sneers when you board, he honks because the driver in front of him isn't going fast enough, he gestures because the driver on the other side of the road can't read his mind when he wants to turn left. He's always groaning or sighing, criminy. Sad thing is, he doesn't look like he's anywhere near retirement. I don't expect a Fantasy Island greeting but what the fuck, you're in a service industry pal. Get over yourself and enjoy your simple-ass job of driving a shuttle bus a whole 1.5 miles back and forth.

SamTrans does not update Google Maps when they alter their routes. The only notice I found that the…read moreroute was modified due to construction was this paper sign. This isn't even the first time they have made unannounced modifications. The sign directs riders to a new location, but there is no signage or stop at that location. I called customer service, and the rep said there should be a sign, as if that solves the problem. The rep then searched for an alternate route for me, and told me to go to a different location. That spot doesn't have any signage either. When I said that there isn't a bus stop at Myrtle and Clarke (northbound), the rep gave me the stop ID, as if that would make a sign appear. When I suggested that SamTrans update their routes with Google when they make changes, the rep said it's not SamTrans's responsibility to do that.

The fare machines are conveniently located on the platforms, and Caltrain itself is clean!! It's the only public transportation I will take in the bay area and most convenient to get into SF.

The experience is also pleasant with good AC during hot weather or heat during cold months.
