One of the best things about the train is seeing all of the little towns along the tracks. One of my favorites is Mountain View. The train station is on the edge of a busy downtown street lined with shops, restaurants and interesting people. Step off the train and you're right in the heart of the action. There's plenty of parking and getting to either side of the tracks to access the north or southbound trains is super easy. The next time you're on the train, consider making a pit stop in Mountain View.

基本上就是一个标准的加州火车（Caltrain）车站。服务高效，空间开阔，护栏等设施不多，停车位充足，几乎没有便利设施（没有餐饮服务），卫生间选项有限，总体上能满足你想从A点到B点的需求。所以，如果你…read more顺便吃点东西之类的，这里除了停车位多以外没什么特别的（不过附近有很多选择）。另外，跟美国很多地方一样，这个车站可能显得人手相对不足。除此之外，列车本身通常要比世界其他地方宽敞很多、空间更大，有时甚至几乎是空的。 Basically your standard Caltrains station. Efficient service, open spaced, limited guardrails / etc., ample parking, few amenities (no F&B), limited bathroom options, and generally gets the job done when you want to go from point A to point B. So not much (except ample parking) if you are expecting to grab a bite, etc. (although plenty of options in the neighborhood). Also, like many places in the U.S. the station may seem relatively understaffed. Other than that, trains themselves are often much more spacious, roomy, and sometimes just plain empty compared to elsewhere in the world.

Thought I would share some tips for someone who doesn't ride frequently. 1.) Clipper If you use a Clipper Card, when you tag in, it will charge you the FULL AMOUNT first. Once you tag out, it will "refund" you the difference. Example: Origin Station (Tag in) = San Francisco = Charge $14.70 Destination Station (Tag Out) = Sunnyvale = Refund $6.75 Total = $7.95 I was really confused by this at first since this is not how BART works where there is no charge at first and a charge after you exit. I definitely messed this up and even had to call Clipper customer service to help me fix one of my rides. 2.) Parking I thought there was ample parking at the station when I went but other reviews says it's difficult. I didn't have any issues here. 3.) Cleanliness For some reason this station was pretty dirty. There were homeless remnants (beds, alcohol, clothes) all over the elevators and trashcans that it felt kind of unsafe. However, when you get to the tracks with the other riders, it was much better. 4.) No Shade This station has like zero shade. You might find some minimal shade in places but it's virtually zero. Wear a hat, sunscreen, or even use an umbrella to block out the sun or rain if its raining.

Hmm.. I am surprised no one has reviewed this Caltrain station since 2013!?…read more I am a frequent traveler visiting my girlfriend living 10 minutes walk away from this station. I have been renting cars for pretty much the whole 2014. When i visited the Sno-Zen shaved ice place, I suddenly realized how close that is to walk to this station.

I'm on the peninsula side so it made since for me to drive to this station and then take the orange line to Levi's stadium.

The orange line was there to so I didn't have any delays getting to the game either. It's great that they take Clipper Card too since I didn't have to buy a separate card just to ride the VTA.

The trip to downtown San Jose from Mtn View takes a solid hour and is not for the hurried. However, I'm glad to both not have driven and paid 2.00 one-way for my troubles, so the slog of a journey was worth it. I spied bike parking (four slots only) for those of us two-wheeler types in each train car. It's a nice gesture, but doesn't seem enough. VTA lightrail is tidy and spacious. I have to say it reminded me of the solid public transport systems in certain European countries I've visited and I was impressed. The clientele, like society at large, is a mixed bag. I had a few crazies on my round trip journey today, but managed to just ignore their rantings. Bart/Caltrain habituees: VTA lightrail is like riding a bus; tap in at boarding, but don't, like I stupidly did, tap out.

They also have a race lift for helping passengers on wheelchairs to get on the train. There is a café on site that was opened when I was here on a Saturday around noon. They have several garbage cans and the station looked very clean. I also noticed that there is no easy way to go from one side of the station to the other, the only way to cross is by walking all the way to Fremont Boulevard and then crossing there. There are parking lots on both sides of the railroad tracks and they are separated by a fence so like I said, if you need to go to the other side, just walk all the way to Fremont Boulevard and then cross. You have to pay for parking and they have machines where you can pay by using a credit card. They also have a bicycle parking locker and you can pay at the storage container. also, I did not think it was very easy to tell whether trains were running on time or not.

You're also allowed to walk the length of the train, but you need to have a wristband so you can get back into the parlor car area. Be prepared for lots of traffic as you drive to the train station from other parts of the Bay Area. Traffic is bad during the winter if not always. The train leaves right on time so you do not want to be late. Also, the railroad provides very detailed and helpful instructions about how to get to the depot and how to navigate the parking and other systems. They have outside train cars and inside train cars so you can choose what type of seat you want. This is definitely been worth the money and should become a holiday.
