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.

As far as train stations go, this one is pretty good. It's typically crowded during commute times,…read morewhich I think is nice. Mostly students and commuters from what I can tell. The signage works and while I haven't been in the building, it seems well maintained (besides a spot in the front of the building where there seems to have been a fire). I always purchase my tickets online, and love this easy option to commute from the Sacramento area to Davis!

This Train Stop is also known as the Davis Amtrak Station and is officially called the Southern…read morePacific (or SP) Depot. The current Station was constructed in 1913 and is a historic landmark. The Station is located downtown at 840 2nd Street and also features the Davis Tower and the A.G. Brinley Plaza, named for a former Station agent. The Station, parking lot and tower are in the middle of the Davis wye of train tracks connecting to the north. I always look forward to seeing the distinctive architecture of this Station while traveling through on either the California Zephyr, the Coast Starlight, or one of the Capital Trains. It's also a destination location for a short train ride, a walk around Davis, and then the return trip home.

When I was commuting to San Francisco for school a few years ago, I'd drive the 15-min. to Davis,…read morefrom West Sac, because the parking is free with purchase of an Amtrak ticket. Free parking is something you won't find at the Sacramento station. The guy that's usually behind the ticket counter is a very friendly man. Another plus is that the tracks are located right outside the depot doors. No need to weave through parked and moving cars just to get to the platforms. And when you return after a stressful day in The City, you can jump off the train, climb into your car and hop onto I-80 for a lovely jaunt back home in 15-min.

Go UC Davis for offering such a convenient service to students and citizens of Davis, CA. They…read moreoffer approximately 22 different bus lines that go throughout all of the major hotspots and student living areas in Davis! Most routes run 4x an hour with some running twice an hour! How convenient! All of the Unitrans drivers I have had the pleasure of interacting with have been helpful, friendly, and offered a comfortable ride! Keep in mind these drivers are students who are drowning in midterms, extracurricular, internships, and 15+ hours of work per week to get you where you want to go. Show your drivers some kindness and appreciation! Unitrans drivers are the most considerate transit drivers I've ever seen! If they see you running for the bus, they will wait for you, and they will do whatever they can to get you home as quickly and comfortably as possible! DOUBLE DECKER BUSSES: Unitrans offers a unique experience of getting to ride a vintage double decker RT imported from London, England in the 60s! This is truly a unique experience as these buses don't even run in London anymore! Check out the top deck! It's pretty cool!

I'm giving this a 2 star because I've lived in Davis all my life (25 years) I've been taking…read moreUnitrans since I was about 12 years old. Reason to why I give them a 2 stars is because of their lack of communication between driver and person attending the bus. I take the bus P almost every morning and the bus driver never greets me, I've seen them roll their eyes, some say "okay" or nod their head. Before COVID the bus drivers were super excited to be the drivers and their communication was on point. Also, some Sac City Student cards are "not valid" which online they are valid. Please update this on every bus line. Please teach your staff to be more active and friendly!

The Davis-Berkeley shuttle is super convenient for students who want to go back home to the Bay…read moreArea. It costs $9.75 one way and gets you from the UC Berkeley campus to the UC Davis campus is about 1 hour and 15 minutes (that's how it's been in my experience). For me, I also have to add on BART fair, so it can cost at least $25 roundtrip using the shuttle+BART. I could get picked up, but it's easier on my family to have me commute, plus it's cheaper than taking Amtrak to Richmond then BART. At Davis you'll dropped off behind Shields Library so it's a short walk from the Silo and MU bus stations. At Berkeley, just walk up a few blocks on Shattuck and turn right on Addison or University Ave and that's where the pick up/drop off area is (Crescent Springer Gateway). In short, I really like this service. It's only available on the weekdays and spaces go fast during the holidays and Fridays/Mondays, so plan ahead.

I called Issac to get transport for a client to two dialysis appointments. He assured me that he…read morewould be able to get the client to his appointments without issue. I sent him the information as requested, and got a canned response that they would get back to me shortly. I never heard back, but I figured that we had everything in hand. Pick-up time arrived and no transportation was in sight. We had to make emergency arrangements which caused anxiety to our client and to the caregiver who was caring for him. Dialysis is a life-saving treatment that must be done on schedule, and Issac really let us down by not showing up for this commitment.

Michael at College Cab is my go-to airport service for the following reasons:…read more(1) Dependability, got a 6AM flight? You can ALWAYS depend that Michael will be there when he says he will. I always get nervous about early flights because sometimes Lyft or Uber cancels; (2) Professional, Michael is extremely professional. He can make good conversation or let you be! Overall, you can tell he runs a good operation; (3) Fair priced, he is 65 dollars to SMF which is slightly above Lyft/Uber w/o price hikes but competitively priced during price hike hours. I think the extra cost is worth the reliability when going to the airport; (4) Accomodating, he is willing to add car seats which is a HUGE plus.

We took the train with friends from Sacramento to Davis. Only a 15 minutes train ride. We went with…read morefriends their young children had never been on a train before wanted them to experience it. All the adults have been on trains before but it has been many years. I noticed not that many times to choose from going to Davis from Sacramento. We missed the 2 pm. We had to wait almost an hour and half until the next one. We bought our tickets then realized no one told us where we actually get onto the train. Our friend went back in..at the ticket booth the man that helped us was very nice and very helpful. He gave the kids coloring books and pins. Finally on the train it was bumper then I remembered, moved around a lot reminded me being on boat. Can not have bags or luggage out on tables or seats. I think we got called out, but we weren't sure since it was over the load speaker. We had a small bag it had food and snacks in it. We put into the over head. We went to check out the food car. So the kids could feel what it was like to walk from car to car..the food car was mostly over priced snacks. Canned, bottled drinks and packs of chips or nuts. When we arrived in Davis. They said over the loud speaker they do not stop for to long you need to get off so get ready. We couldn't open the over head to get our bag back out. It was stuck. Other passengers helped us open it, they said you really need to pull it hard. Once off the train the Davis train station and building looked so old and run down..so sad looking compared to Sacramento station. We didn't know no one would be there to buy return tickets. But they do offer more times leaving back to Sacramento. We purchased online. We had many people asking if they were in the right place while we were waiting. Davis such a cute town seems like they would clean up the station areas.

When checking in, the ladies at the counter were chatting it up while there was a line of people. Once on the train (booked lower level seats for my elderly mother and I), come to find out there were no seats available in the lower level although we paid for that seating. The people that assist on the train couldn't do enough for you, really amazing people. They checked everyone's ticket on lower level and appeared everyone had lower level seating. I called Amtrak to make a complaint and was sent to customer relations. I spoke to Kara; she stated she checked the schedule and there was absolutely no way that could've been oversold because there were open seats. I told her they had everyone on specific train cars based on the area they were going to, and was told there were no other seats on other cars as it was a holiday weekend and full. I asked her if there was any way to be compensated and she said no there was nothing she could do but send a message to corporate; no idea if she'll really do it. ‍ There was another gentleman behind me with a son that had congestive heart failure, who also purchased lower level seats, and they also had to go up to the upper level, it was a seating DISASTER!!! The icing on the cake was there are no restrooms on the upper level of the train. So when my elderly mother had to use the restroom, she had to go up and down the stairs in that tight stairwell while the train was in motion; completely unsafe and dangerous for an 89yr-old lady. So save yourself the time as it's five hours by train from Sacramento to Reno; just drive, not worth taking Amtrak. It was a terrible experience for my elderly mother and myself!!
