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.

This particular station is located near businesses, such as eBay Inc., and in proximity to Avis rental car, which makes it very convenient if you need a car but don't have a partner to drive you there. Also one can stop for a quick fast food stop at McDonalds. Also, the Furlong Vision Correction Mediacl Center is walking distance; we would want you driving after a procedure so this may be your option.. Pretty well maintained and safe with emergency beacons at the platform. The north and south bound platforms are separate approximately half a block apart.

Back and Forth...etc. etc…read more For a first time, it wasn't bad. The station is conveniently located in front of my motel. After some coaching from the VTA help line, I managed to buy a day pass and took it to the St. James station, across from the park of the homeless. The machine worked well--consider that I lived in Philadelphia for 8 years and used public transport at least once a week and sometimes, every day of the week, several times each day. The only automated ticket machines dispensed One Dollar coins, which were heavy and inconvenient, and transit was always late. The VTA stations in general are fine, but a bit confusing when you add bus service on the other side from light rail. The Karina northbound station is a bit away from the southbound station, so you're better at the backside of the train to cross at the light. Thankfully, nothing is terrible, and I suspect that the trains keep a close schedule.

I have been riding with Minyvan since the beginning of October! Very glad to have found out about…read moreit! I live in Los Altos and work in downtown San Francisco. I usually take the ~7am northbound route and get to work a little before 9am. I get picked up from my house and get dropped off right by my work! I don't think it can get much better than this for the price. Each ride is $10 one way, but if you purchase in bulk you can get a discount. Admittedly, my commute is a bit longer through Minyvan compared to using public transportation because of traffic and picking other passengers up, but it is worth it for the convenience and comfort! The Minyvans are all wi-fi equipped and each seat has a tablet in front of it with Netflix installed! I take the ~5:30pm southbound Minyvan after work and get dropped off at home around 7pm. The drivers are always very timely. Once in a blue moon, the Minyvan is delayed (i.e. when it rains everyone in the Bay Area forgets how to drive) but they always let me know in advance the new pick-up time so I'll just do a little extra work in the office before I head downstairs. They have also added a feature in the Duet app that I can track the live location of the Minyvan. All in all, this is a great find and I encourage any SF to Peninsula (or vice versa) commuters to check it out! I don't see a reason to commute to work any other way!

Highway 101 is like the basic class in driving. There's a little bit of everything on this road…read more From it's starting point in the Los Angeles area to the State of Washington, it travels over 1500 miles. The drive will take you over mountains, along the coast, open highways, and thru dense urban centers. I have only driven US Hwy 101 south to Santa Maria, and North to Eureka. I live in the SF Bay Area, and I get to experience probably the worst part of Hwy 101....when it passes thru the San Francisco Bay Area. There is no freeway that runs north-south thru the City of San Francisco. Hwy 101 will force you to drive on city streets. But the good part, you will drive across the Golden Gate Bridge! The most photographed man made structure in the world! Heading north, once you get north of Santa Rosa driving on Hwy 101 will be a pleasure. You will have mostly open highway driving with small towns along the way. You might see unique places like The Bigfoot Store or Confusion Hill. Watch your speed, lots of CA Highway Patrol on this road.

"101" is the perfect name because this is literally like an intro class to open-road driving. If…read moreI'd just gotten my permit and wanted to learn how to put the pedal to the floor, this slalom of gentle curves and fastish cars is the place. Pro-tip: Starting at like 65 a little north of the rainbow tunnel, you can coast without touching the gas or brakes at all and get to 75 (or 80, if you're good) by the time you cross the row of houseboat things. Of course you *could* work the pedals, or you could loosen up & have some fun. 3.5 stars.

There were 40 people on the platform just staring in disbelief. No announcement, no message, no conductor. (Yes, it was the correct train -- the message board said so and the timing was correct.) I missed an important appointment, and probably got charged (and definitely was charged for parking).

This is a clean, easy-to-navigate CalTrain station. As far as train stations go, there isn't much…read moreto see. You can park in the parking lot or simply walk to the station. Thankfully, I live near this station. I can walk under Alma Street via the pedestrian underpass (at Jerry Bowden Park) and take a quick left and arrive at the station. The building is usually unattended (although I have seen security guards a few times). TICKETS: You purchase your boarding passes/tickets at the machine. I usually purchase an all-day pass and keep it in my wallet. A train conductor will periodically ask to see it. WHICH SIDE? If you're traveling north bound (from Palo Alto to San Francisco or anywhere in-between), you'll need to cross under the tracks via the stairs/sidewalk just south of the building. If you're traveling south bound, you can simply wait on the building's side of the tracks. That's about it! Oh...there isn't very much covered seating (a few covered benches). Thus, if you're traveling in the rain, you might want to bring an umbrella. The bicycle cart tends to be near the front of the train, so you'll want to stand near the northern covered bench if you're bringing a bike.
