Transferring from the light rail to the train, or hopping off to go to a sporting event/concert really couldn't be easier. Though I haven't parked at the station in many years, everytime I have in the past, finding a spot was easy on weekdays or weekends. I don't necessarily feel the safest walking around the area alone at night, but after a game/concert there are usually plenty of people around in case anything goes awry. It also feels fine during the daytime.

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:)

The only complaint I have is the fact that the vta drivers will see you running to the door and will almost always close them right when you get down the stairs or almost in your face. There is a 20 min wait between each train, if you're gonna arrive 5 min early to your stop, then you should wait the 10 seconds it will take for me to run into the train.

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

There's never any parking on the other side of the train station (on Lick Ave, with the children's center), however, there is ample parking on the other side near the Hwy 87 entrance. Relatively easy trek to and from South Jose and like everyone mentioned, it's free! Saves me so much on gas when driving to Palo Alto.

If…read moreyou drop off your car at any one of the dealerships on capital auto mall it would be so nice to walk to the station from the west entrance and take the escalator up to platform between the highway 87 lanes. What you'll find is that you'll have to go back down and find the ticket kiosk which is actually towards the East entrance and then find your way back to platform. Hopefully not missing the next train in the process . Buyers remorse overall as I should have taken a Lyft. Way too noisy and so little train activity even at high noon on a weekday
