I'm on the peninsula side so it made since for me to drive to this station and then take the orange line to Levi's stadium. This station shares it's parking with the Caltrain station that's on the same stop. $6 flat fee parking for the whole day even though I was only there for 2-3 hours tops? That's a win. The orange line was there to so I didn't have any delays getting to the game either. It's great that they take Clipper Card too since I didn't have to buy a separate card just to ride the VTA.

I simply stood in an empty train figuring that eventually the doors would close & we'd be in motion. After 15 minutes, we were on our way. The trip to downtown San Jose from Mtn View takes a solid hour and is not for the hurried. However, I'm glad to both not have driven and paid 2.00 one-way for my troubles, so the slog of a journey was worth it. I spied bike parking (four slots only) for those of us two-wheeler types in each train car. It's a nice gesture, but doesn't seem enough. VTA lightrail is tidy and spacious. I have to say it reminded me of the solid public transport systems in certain European countries I've visited and I was impressed. The clientele, like society at large, is a mixed bag. I had a few crazies on my round trip journey today, but managed to just ignore their rantings. Bart/Caltrain habituees: VTA lightrail is like riding a bus; tap in at boarding, but don't, like I stupidly did, tap out.

Hmm.. I am surprised no one has reviewed this Caltrain station since 2013!?…read more I am a frequent traveler visiting my girlfriend living 10 minutes walk away from this station. I have been renting cars for pretty much the whole 2014. When i visited the Sno-Zen shaved ice place, I suddenly realized how close that is to walk to this station. And with the new and free Mountain View shuttle, who needs a car nowadays? The only reason I give this a 4 is that I was forced to buy a single trip ticket thanks to no clipper reloading machine here. Next time I will make sure I reload online or at SFO.

基本上就是一个标准的加州火车（Caltrain）车站。服务高效，空间开阔，护栏等设施不多，停车位充足，几乎没有便利设施（没有餐饮服务），卫生间选项有限，总体上能满足你想从A点到B点的需求。所以，如果你…read more顺便吃点东西之类的，这里除了停车位多以外没什么特别的（不过附近有很多选择）。另外，跟美国很多地方一样，这个车站可能显得人手相对不足。除此之外，列车本身通常要比世界其他地方宽敞很多、空间更大，有时甚至几乎是空的。 Basically your standard Caltrains station. Efficient service, open spaced, limited guardrails / etc., ample parking, few amenities (no F&B), limited bathroom options, and generally gets the job done when you want to go from point A to point B. So not much (except ample parking) if you are expecting to grab a bite, etc. (although plenty of options in the neighborhood). Also, like many places in the U.S. the station may seem relatively understaffed. Other than that, trains themselves are often much more spacious, roomy, and sometimes just plain empty compared to elsewhere in the world.

I'm more of a BART person since I live closer to one but sometimes take Caltrain when I go to…read moreOracle Park since it's closer. Thought I would share some tips for someone who doesn't ride frequently. 1.) Clipper If you use a Clipper Card, when you tag in, it will charge you the FULL AMOUNT first. Once you tag out, it will "refund" you the difference. Example: Origin Station (Tag in) = San Francisco = Charge $14.70 Destination Station (Tag Out) = Sunnyvale = Refund $6.75 Total = $7.95 I was really confused by this at first since this is not how BART works where there is no charge at first and a charge after you exit. I definitely messed this up and even had to call Clipper customer service to help me fix one of my rides. 2.) Parking I thought there was ample parking at the station when I went but other reviews says it's difficult. I didn't have any issues here. 3.) Cleanliness For some reason this station was pretty dirty. There were homeless remnants (beds, alcohol, clothes) all over the elevators and trashcans that it felt kind of unsafe. However, when you get to the tracks with the other riders, it was much better. 4.) No Shade This station has like zero shade. You might find some minimal shade in places but it's virtually zero. Wear a hat, sunscreen, or even use an umbrella to block out the sun or rain if its raining.

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!
