Very impressed with Caltrain. I had a hiccup purchasing my ticket via mobile app. Mostly user…read moreerror, as I wasn't aware I could not purchase tickets in advanced as they expire. 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!

Since there aren't many points of references, make sure you're on the right side of the platform! In terms of parking, it exists, but not a whole lot, though I'm not sure how busy this station gets in general. Also, keep in mind that is it usually pay to park at Caltrain stations.

Awful station. Form…read morelogistics and comfort of usage standpoint: - no stairs on the west/north side of the station - no protection from the sun. It is ca, not Iceland, the sun here is 300+d a year. Apparently the designers of that station were not told where this station is going to be located... - no way to drive to the east/south side of the station from the meadows . Only from El Camino. Idiocracy. From design/look and feel standpoint: - designed by a person who never saw anything better than an Walmart parking lot. They spend so much time and money on construction to present us with this??? It is the silicon valley and there are no industrial designers and engineers to create the train station? I do not believe it... It is the worst looking station I have ever seen. No greens, cold colors, concrete, weird shapes and forms of station elements, no protection from the sun. Where did all the money go? Epic fail

Public transit option from Caltrain to San Francisco International Airport…read more I highly recommend this option to get to the airport. You can take it from downtown San Francisco to the airport. Also, if you are in the South Bay, you can take Caltrain to Milbrae and then transfer to BART for a short ride to the airport.

This is my first week riding this shuttle. It has been reliable but as with all things "Caltrain"…read morehas a nonsensical schedule. I guess they changed the schedule first thing Monday, March the 2nd, the day I needed to start taking it. They have a 40 minute break period in between shuttle routes between 7:40am and 8:21am. No one wants to go to work then do they? Geez!! Caltrain!! I had to stop taking it months ago and now rely on the shuttle to get to BART. Fortunately, there is only that one break and the shuttle runs pretty regularly every other 15 mins intervals and the man who drives the bus is so kind and explains everything to you. Today he handed me a schedule and asked me to leave him a good review which I'm doing because people complain like it's his fault his supervisors mess with the schedule. Reliable, efficient, CLEAN, take it.

So, I'm grateful that Caltrain has this shuttle during commute hours on the weekdays. Especially…read morewhen I have to leave from work early because I'm not feeling well or some such thing. However, the afternoon driver is the MOST MISERABLE person to walk the face of the earth. I've come across homeless people who are more personable than he. He sneers when you board, he honks because the driver in front of him isn't going fast enough, he gestures because the driver on the other side of the road can't read his mind when he wants to turn left. He's always groaning or sighing, criminy. Sad thing is, he doesn't look like he's anywhere near retirement. I don't expect a Fantasy Island greeting but what the fuck, you're in a service industry pal. Get over yourself and enjoy your simple-ass job of driving a shuttle bus a whole 1.5 miles back and forth.

I called the bus yards reception and still no help now it's at another location.

Sometimes trains in both directions will board on the same side of the platform, and it is a bummer if you don't realize it. - There is no bathroom, elevator, or escalator at this station. - Not every train stops at San Carlos. I wish! I do wish that the historic building in front of the station was used for something. Maybe a coffee shop or wine bar would be nice. The building itself isn't super well maintained so I am worried it will become an eyesore over time (broken windows, etc.).
