The lounge is full of couches and comfy chairs. Nothing like the hard benches that are in the general waiting area. We were there for 2 hours and it was so relaxing. They have snacks and nonalcoholic drinks for you to consume. I had some amazing bagged popcorn, sea salt chips, and Doritos. For drinks they had water and a variety of sodas. If the snacks aren't available in the lounge you can ask at the ticket desk. The snacks were well stocked in the lounge. The drinks had to be gotten at the ticket desk. What made it extra relaxing was they offered a shuttle to take you right to the train. No having to figure out what tunnel to

Took the Capitol Corridor route from Sacramento to Berkeley…read more These days for the price of gas and parking plus the increasing unsafe drivers on the road, taking the train was a great choice. I purchase my ticket online and it was fairly easy. The customer service was good. There was a rep in the lobby that clarified my pickup destination and offered a golf cart ride if needed. The train was full but not crowded. I was able to find a seat fairly easily. The ride was comfortable, I was able to read my book and relax. The downside was that I would've liked to wipe down my chair and table. Yes it's public transportation but it would be nice if they had Clorox wipes and sanitary stations available for passengers to wipe down their area.

San Joaquin Route So…read moredo I recommend riding the Amtrak to the Bay? Hell yah I do. Sometimes I feel like driving & sometimes I don't. Now since I'm going to Oakland/San Francisco I don't want to deal with finding parking, outrageous parking prices , or risk my car getting broken into. You know Oakland these days. So Amtrak it is. Ride that Choo-Choo Whewww-Whewww I start at the very south end of the train route so it's 5 hours of extra time for me. I use this time to catch up on my reading, my Yelp reviews, or research my next trip. Create music playlists and discover that next new musical artist or The Next Big Thing. Speaking of this, I really suggest you check out Durand Bernarr. Everywhere I walk now, that song Mango Butter is in my head. Anyhoo, back to Amtrak. They have the new and the old trains. The new cars have sliding glass doors between the cars and are one level. The luggage racks are bigger and are bicycle mount ready. There's also a tile lip on the floor to prevent your wheelie suitcase from rolling away. A lot of passengers have a difficult time finding the trash can. These new cars now have the receptacle built in so you have to look on the sides for the stainless steel rectangular door that are usually located near the restrooms and the water fountains. Speaking of water, these new cars have water dispensers like you see at the airport. Just bring your travel water bottles and your set. Another thing passengers have a hard time finding are the electrical outlets. Tip: they're located between the seats. No more food car. Remember those? Yah, I miss them too. Now drinks and snacks are free. They are Coca-Cola products (Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Dr Pepper, Mr Pibb and Fanta). Snacks are chitos, popcorn, cookies, Chex mix Download the Amtrak to get promo codes for your next trip and make checking in a faster & quicker process. After reading this, you'll feel like a seasoned Amtrak traveler who knows how to navigate the car. Passengers: You'll see many characters. Bring headphones for your music and to drown out the crying babies. Some are nice and some are smelly. Bring a Mask & some gum. Some are casually dressed and some dress like they're on the Stroll or on a Pole if ya feel me. It's always an adventure on Amtrak. Hope this helps. See you more on Yelp 2026

Note: part of this review will be the same as my Davis review, but the last part will focus on the…read moreMartinez station If you commute from Davis to the Bay Area, I definitely recommend using Amtrak's Capital Corridor over driving. It is far less stressful, and, with a monthly pass, much cheaper. The trains are clean, and the conductors friendly, and it usually goes off without a hitch. Occasionally, there are delays (such as when the Benicia Bridge is up to allow maritime traffic to pass, or infrequent mishaps). When they do occur, communication could be better, but that would be my only complaint. You can bring your bike or scooter aboard (most cars have three spaces, plus there is one that holds 13. In the early morning, the bike/luggage car is also the quiet car, and usually kept dark as well. In the afternoon, if you do not need to go past Sacramento, avoid #538, as it gets very full (often no bike racks or seats are open). The #536 and #540 have plenty of room and run within half an hour. The Martinez station is a bit larger than Davis, has more consistent staffing, and is cleaner. There is also a bit more UP traffic, so there is fun people-watching when the train enthusiast photographers are out. One time, there was also a busker singing about Box-car Willie, and vocalizing authentic sounding steam whistle sound. The station sits in charming downtown Martinez, and is also close to the waterfront and yacht club.

The station is old and that's part of its charm. However the odor of urination could be smelled outside near the back of the building but nothing periodic pressure washing wouldn't cure. The building also has been boarded up in the back. The trains run right along the back of the building, and its very convenient for travelers. We took the Coast Starlight to/from this location. On the departure the conductors didn't put the step stool down to assist and an elderly man who almost fell while trying to step up into the train. These step stools are stored right inside the door, and should be put down at each stop but they aren't consistently.

I took a trip to SF by way of Amtrak today. I decided on boarding Amtrak from the Davis station…read morebecause it's so much easier to park, and train Passos right in front of the station. Free parking and boarding the train was so close. To take Amtrak to SF, the train stop is Emeryville, where you board an Amtrak bus that takes you into SF. There were additional stops at Fairfield, Martinez, Richmond and Berkeley before arriving in Emeryville. Be sure to hurry boarding the bus though, because there's not much time between arriving and departure. The total trip was 2 hours. I really liked being able to relax on the ride instead of dealing with the traffic.

I actually had a bad feeling as I drove away, although she thankfully made it home safely. I'm so grateful for that. Once I dropped my friend off here, I left because I just didn't feel that it was a safe area. I personally don't ride Bart because I don't feel it's safe sadly, although hopeful that one day it will improve. If you can afford it I would Uber/Lyft if you don't drive. I personally stopped riding Bart altogether a long time ago since there are a lot of sketch people on it and if something goes wrong, there is little you can do and they don't seem to have a grasp on who is actually on it so if a crime is committed there is little you can do. It's a serious safety concern for me and simply not worth it if there is any way, I would avoid it. Bart please prioritize the safety of people more and better track who is getting on and off Bart for the safety of all passengers. Please also take more measures to increase response times when things do occur. Some of these Bart stations feel like a third world country. Californians deserve better and we deserve transportation services that are safe.
