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 riders are normal, civilized people you expect, and the train conductors do a good job of checking for tickets. Caltrain is super convenient getting to SF and beats the price of a ride share. The experience is also pleasant with good AC during hot weather or heat during cold months.

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.

I'm used to SF Muni, which is held together by duct tape and a prayer. The 390 was plush, reminding me of a 60's bucket seat and clean with quite a bit of space for the isle ways. The bus came early, left on time and both stops had seating. ZOMG. What a concept. Sadly SamTrans as with VTA doesn't have nextbus but the quality of the ride sometimes does negate the quantity of the buses you can catch. Sometimes.

However, a lot of riff raff and rough people because this is where Caltrain bumps off non-paying riders and unhygienic homeless people. Lots of strangers hanging out at all hours, but none of them particularly dangerous. No toilets, no restrooms, no water, only benches. Tolerable if you are waiting for a train. Now featuring a Lot Cop for reduced car break-ins. Original Greyhound Terminal now owned and operated by Samtrans. No Public Access and No Greyhound service, but is an interesting building to look at. Makes we wish we had regional bus service to the Coast, it would connect well with Caltrain. NOTE ! Greyhound does still serve Redwood City one block away at 850 Winslow Street .. outside an abandoned store. At 12 AM Only. With service like this you're better off taking Samtrans or Caltrain. I used the "Throne" branded "free" toilet paid by my tax money. The entry process with the QR code and SMS text message was interesting, but functional. Of writing, this is a brand new, unused unit with no graffiti, trash or discoloration. TP was fully stocked, all plumbing/electrical worked and the toilets/sink function as expected with clean water. Fully ADA Compliant with NO issues with the access ramp.

The website said the shuttle would go to Redwood City Caltrain and stop at all Peninsula Caltrain stops north of there. Upon arriving at the shuttle stop, one Rhythm Shuttle showed up along with two Airport Shuttles. The "guy in charge" was trying to figure out who should go in what shuttle. In ours, there were people going to Mountain View Caltrain, which was a 20 minute detour and not on the route. We waited for everyone before our airport van left.

My wife told me driver was pushy as she expressed her concern about getting in the car without one. Driver was very rude and told her she would be charged whether she got in the car or not and expressed that she had to hurry and make a decision because he had another trip that she was going to make him late for. She ended up getting in and driver was weaving in and out of traffic driving recklessly and fast, she asked him if he could slow down a little because she was feeling uneasy. He then told her that he's driving faster because she made him late to begin with. I called to complain about everything and spoke to a gentleman by the name of Rashad and a gentleman he was NOT. Rashad told me that the original driver couldn't make it and another one was sent and that these things happen, he was NOT remorseful at all and was pretty much laughing at the matter with his response being sh*t happens sometimes and began to tell me if my family got in the car when the driver got there he wouldn't of drove like that.

We wanted to make sure we were in the hands of someone we knew was reliable and that we could trust. NLS was definitely the right choice. The limo is beautiful and our driver Rashad was great, the night couldn't have gone any better I'm definitely using NLS for all of my events in the future and I would recommend the same!
