I love having this Caltrain station nearby. I use it roughly once a week to head up to SF or visit…read morenearby suburbs for dinner/drinks. A few things to note: - Read all of the signage. 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.).

I called the bus yards reception and still no help now it's at another location. Also the busses suck this is like the last bus you'd want to get on they're either late or way too early and you have to wait like 20 minutes for the next one just take the Caltrain muni bart or Lyft

I'm used to SF Muni, which is held together by duct tape and a prayer. The 390 was plush, reminding me of a 60's bucket seat and clean with quite a bit of space for the isle ways. The bus came early, left on time and both stops had seating. ZOMG. What a concept. Sadly SamTrans as with VTA doesn't have nextbus but the quality of the ride sometimes does negate the quantity of the buses you can catch. Sometimes.

However, a lot of riff raff and rough people because this is where Caltrain bumps off non-paying riders and unhygienic homeless people. Lots of strangers hanging out at all hours, but none of them particularly dangerous. No toilets, no restrooms, no water, only benches. Tolerable if you are waiting for a train. Now featuring a Lot Cop for reduced car break-ins. Original Greyhound Terminal now owned and operated by Samtrans. No Public Access and No Greyhound service, but is an interesting building to look at. Makes we wish we had regional bus service to the Coast, it would connect well with Caltrain. NOTE ! Greyhound does still serve Redwood City one block away at 850 Winslow Street .. outside an abandoned store. At 12 AM Only. With service like this you're better off taking Samtrans or Caltrain. I used the "Throne" branded "free" toilet paid by my tax money. The entry process with the QR code and SMS text message was interesting, but functional. Of writing, this is a brand new, unused unit with no graffiti, trash or discoloration. TP was fully stocked, all plumbing/electrical worked and the toilets/sink function as expected with clean water. Fully ADA Compliant with NO issues with the access ramp.

The website said the shuttle would go to Redwood City Caltrain and stop at all Peninsula Caltrain stops north of there. Upon arriving at the shuttle stop, one Rhythm Shuttle showed up along with two Airport Shuttles. The "guy in charge" was trying to figure out who should go in what shuttle. In ours, there were people going to Mountain View Caltrain, which was a 20 minute detour and not on the route. We waited for everyone before our airport van left. Once we got going, the driver asked everyone where they were going.

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

My wife told me driver was pushy as she expressed her concern about getting in the car without one. Driver was very rude and told her she would be charged whether she got in the car or not and expressed that she had to hurry and make a decision because he had another trip that she was going to make him late for. She ended up getting in and driver was weaving in and out of traffic driving recklessly and fast, she asked him if he could slow down a little because she was feeling uneasy. He then told her that he's driving faster because she made him late to begin with. I called to complain about everything and spoke to a gentleman by the name of Rashad and a gentleman he was NOT. Rashad told me that the original driver couldn't make it and another one was sent and that these things happen, he was NOT remorseful at all and was pretty much laughing at the matter with his response being sh*t happens sometimes and began to tell me if my family got in the car when the driver got there he wouldn't of drove like that.
