From this station, it is a convenient way to travel north to San Francisco or SFO International by getting off at Milbrae and taking BART to the airport. Just another way of commuting.

This Caltrain station serves its purpose for providing transportation linkages between the local…read moretrains, Amtrak and buses. There's a basic seating area inside the station and relatively clean bathrooms. I have seen homeless people inside washing up or sitting but I just keep my distance and no issues. Monitors showing all the train times and tracks were easy to read and accurate. Ticket machines are installed before the ramp down to the trains but having the Clipper card in my Apple wallet makes travel more efficient since I can quickly add funds when needed. For the most part the station was clean and at least one staff posted near the departing train for any questions or assistance in boarding.

The parking lot is shared for a shuttle to Valley Christian HS (when school is in). So there is a security guard there in the morning. Not sure how long he stays for.

This is my go to station!…read more Its the last stop in San Jose before going down to Gilroy so when I take it to the city I'm literally the first and last stop. Yes it can be a long ride but that's why you take the bullet (which makes less stops.) Advantages: - If you live in South SJ you can get to this Cal Train station without the fwy. I take Almaden Expressway all the way down there. - FREE PARKING! Which is WAY better than $4 a day at DT SJ Diridon Station. This is great since sometimes I spend the night in the city and have left my car and its been fine. - Plenty of parking. Even when you get to the station somewhat late you can park your car in the dirt area like others do. Be careful of the deep holes tho! Don't mess up your car. - Right next to VTA for those people that take the Light Rail Disadvantages: - No restrooms - It gets really deserted at times and I've seen shattered glass before (thinking someone's car got broken into) - Not all trains go to Tamien so sometimes I do have to suck it up and drive to the DT station

I like this station: 1) Only one stop away from San Jose…read moreDiridon 2) Free parking 3) about half of the bullet trains stop here 4) Free parking 5) Closer to home if you live in Willow Glen, Cambrian, Los Gatos, Campbell, than other stations up north. 6) Free parking 7) Nursery on site for those with small kiddos 8) Free parking 9) VTA (tram or light rail) station connection 10) Did I mention free parking? Do keep in mind: -Don't bring your expensive car here or leave valuables in it. Other reviewers have reported occasional shattered windows. -Parking is barely sufficient for the demand: by the third bullet train, there are no spaces left. -Fewer trains stop here as compared to Diridon (the primary San Jose station) -If you don't get off here, you'll end up in Gilroy

This is one of two Light Rail stations in the 95136, and during the time I frequented it, there was ample security and plenty of parking. (I also loved that my daily fare was covered by tuition!). I'll never forget crossing over the overpass from the parking lot, seeing my train coming in from Almaden, and running down the stairs and across the platform to leap onboard before it pulled away. Those were some good times. My husband also proposed to me here in the parking lot with security looking on from the platform. (Yep, we met at the 2nd St. Station and a proposal followed at the Branham Station some 17 months later:)
