Problem with this station is that there are no vending machines and not knowing the area. Hard to venture out with luggage in tow to look for edibles. No luggage check ins here. My bus was delayed but no announcements were made. A lady employee finally came out to tell passengers there is delay due to traffic but no eta for bus. After that, no more updates. Bus came 1 1/2 hours later with passengers standing around. Where was the customer service? This station. Is not busy with lines of passengers making inquiries and there were two employees.

As all of you may know, they just don't call the shopping center Great Mall that for nothing as…read moreit's a huge walk to see everything in the mall. If you are visiting from the East Bay through Milpitas BART I strongly suggest going to the VTA Platform and taking VTA one stop down from the Milpitas VTA Station to save yourself some walking time and get off at the Great Mall Center. It brings you very close to the theater. Worth the $2 to do. (You get a 50 cent discount to transfer from BART to VTA)

It is not a pastiche in the middle of nowhere (feeling that many of us have when moving to North San Jose anyways). Very practical station for the many new apartment complexes around, gets your middle of nowhere sensation a little bit somewhere. And that is something.

There are many free shuttles that ACE operates to get passengers quickly to and from their workplaces in the mornings and in the afternoons. There is also access to VTA light rail within a 5 minute walk from the station at either the Lick Mill or Levi's Stadium/Great America stations. I park a car at the station Tuesday-Thursday to get back and forth from my office in downtown Mountain View to the station. There's plenty of parking at both the paved VTA lot and also at the unpaved lot that was used as parking and trailer space for the Levi's station construction. The unpaved lot is a lot closer to the train platform, but I'm not entirely sure how much longer they're going to allow ACE passengers to park there now that construction is complete on the stadium. On Mondays and Fridays, I usually take the VTA light rail into downtown Mountain View. If you have to make a similar trip, take the red ACE Shuttle to the Crossman VTA station instead of walking down to Lick Mill. The connection to the light rail is usually really tight and the shuttle will take you farther down the light rail line, which will save you a run down the hill to the station. The only thing that sucks about this station is that there are no restrooms. There is one porta-poty with a lock on it that is only to be used by the shuttle drivers. If there's a big delay, you'll have to go over to the Carl's Jr to use the restroom. It's rarely an issue, but it does happen.

This review is for Amtrak train not the station…read more I regularly use the Amtrak stop at Great America Station in Santa Clara, and one thing continues to be incredibly frustrating: the train horn. Every single time the Amtrak train arrives and is already slowing to a near-complete stop, the engineer blasts the horn at maximum volume for an unusually long time. It's so loud that it startles passengers and people waiting on the platform. I've seen people visibly jump from the sudden noise. I understand train horns are important for safety, but this feels excessive and unnecessary when the train is already at walking speed and nearly stopped at the station. I've ridden ACE and Caltrain many times, and they don't seem to do this in the same disruptive manner. Amtrak should review their operating practices and ensure the passenger experience is being taken seriously.

The Santa Clara Caltrain Station is located across the street from Santa Clara University and…read morewithin walking distance to downtown Santa Clara. It's also at the transit center so you can also take local buses and the Amtrak trains. There is a parking lot on-site where you can park and ride for $5.50 all day. Depending on which zone you're getting on and off will determine the price that you pay. Just remember that you need to pay before you board. You can scan your Clipper card at their kiosks or buy one on-site. Pro tip: if you have an iPhone you can set up a digital transit card and refill your transit card with your credit card. If you're going northbound you'll have to go under the tunnel to get to the right platform. This is a pretty big station and was pretty clean.

If you are here in the morning or late evening, you can see a lot of people boarding the tram here. Although this tram station is very old, it's a very interesting how the set up is. There is a really weird art installation full of weird photos that actually move. It's so funny. Sometimes I would get off here to take a look around and ponder upon the moving pictures. Sometimes you get people's faces on the screens, other times you see scissors, power cords and electric wires that are reflective of the trams that stop by.
