    I met up with some friends and headed into SF for an activity…read more This is the first time I've taken BART, so I wasn't sure what to expect - other than crowds. When I drove into this station, I realized that it was huge. There were plenty of parking - both outside right in front of the station and inside the garage, which was a bit farther to walk from, but obviously had more shade. I also saw that they had chargers for EVs right in front. After paying the parking ticket, $3/day, I walked over to the station to find my friends. It was very quiet around 10:30 on a weekend, which was surprising to me - I thought much more people would be taking BART on the weekends. Maybe it was too early/late? Once we got our Clipper Cards, we went through the turnstile and started our trip. It wasn't crowded at all as we got on, but more and more people got on as we got closer to SF. As we were moving past a bunch of the other stations, I realized that not all stations were created equal - at least from what I could see out the window. Berryessa station seemed much calmer, cleaner and more spacious than many of the other stations - as well as more updated. I'm not sure when each station was built - so it could be that Berryessa may be one of the newer stations and therefore more modern looking. Our ride back later in the afternoon had more people, but even then - not fully packed at all. We were still all able to find seats and ride comfortably back. We did think about walking over to the Flea Market, but decided against it in the end as we were all tired from our adventure in the city.

    We parked our car at the 3-story parking lot around 11 am on 5/2/2026 and paid the all-day fee…read more When we come back from the trip, we found our car has been scratched with some kind sharp object. I wish there are safety guard around the newly built station.

    Ok so on a recent trip to San Jose with my mother and brother-to go see my beloved San Jose…read moreSharks,I was trying to figure out a more efficient way to way of getting to the stadium-for both cost efficiency and traffic chaos-I really dislike the traffic after an event be it a sporting event or a concert and with the love the San Jose Sharks have been getting lately,I knew traffic would be bad both pre and post game. So looking into the cost of parking near the stadium-i I was looking at upwards of $40 to park across the street from the SAP Center-that's outrageous to me-so I knew there had to be a better way. So what I decided to do was look into the Light Rail system in the area and I realized I could park at the Bascom Rail Station-which is part of the VTA system in the area. Once parked I could catch the light rail and go 2 or 3 stops,maybe 10 minutes and it would drop me off right in front of the SAP Center and I could just walk into the stadium. Here is the good stuff-parking at the light rail station was free and the fare for the train was like $2.50. After the event-it was so easy to just walk back to the station-catch a train back to Bascom and jump in my car and off I was back to Sacramento-easy peasy. The station felt very safe-especially on a game night,lots of people at the train station-so no issues there. In closing-I would definitely highly recommend this method of getting to and from events at the SAP Center-it's cheaper-it's less hectic and it's super efficient-Be Safe Out There. PS-This method works for events at Levi Stadium as well-VTA Light Rail for the win.....

Now as a grad student I no longer come here because I don't like crowded tram stations. Even with a pandemic, it didn't seem to stop the crowds. This station is very convenient for those who live in the Bascom and far Campbell area. For those who are going to Levi's stadium this station has plenty of parking nearby. They have their own lot as well as street parking. There is easy access to Valley Medical and the 61 bus. Whole foods is just down the street as well as the Campbell Creek trail nearby. Took a star off due to the unevenness I feel here but for the sports fan, this station really helps. Drawback: it can be a bit tough here because of the proximity to the hospital. There could be transients walking around here.

    ... some of the reviews here make no sense…read more - yes, there are signs to which direction you're going. - yes, there are benches, if you are sitting or standing where they're at and facing the fences, you will see the sign of where it's going - yes, the elevators smell-- it only takes on lesson to learn that. - it won't say exactly which one to take besides the usual ALUM ROCK or SANTA TERESA, etc. - the stairs, good work out. not every stop has an escalator at all. only smelly elevators. - they're cleaning up the public area, good for them. they're not leaving it to just get dirtier. - there are maps that tells you which light rail to take and estimated arrival times, got questions? call 511, no phone? turn around and ask a stranger. they know where they're going and which route to take. $2 one way, transfer light rail $6 day pass to use on VTAs, including bus Light rail takes you to Caltrain as well. Earliest departure is about 4:25am.

    No clipper card service on the platform which is quite unreasonable for such a massive station. 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

    I just wanna say I am so disappointed in VTA and the service and how are you treated by customer…read moreservice and VTA bus drivers? I will admit there are some really great bus drivers but overall I've been dealing with nonstop, disrespect harassment in bowling and so much more. It was already hell enough with the strike going on for people that needed to take the bus to work to school to home wherever they needed to go, but the fact that bus drivers are still giving problems to customers is unacceptable. I am very disgusted by VTA how they are running things. And they need to start working with Google cause Google is using VTA on Google maps and they need to work with them to get it correct it's not fair to customers and it's not the responsibility to making sure they can get the correct information doesn't matter what app they're using. The app is using BTA for buses and trains PTA needs to communicate with this company to make sure everything's correct I am so tired of waiting for buses being being late or no-show and there's no update on it. I've waited in the rain before for an hour. I've waited in a super hot heat before in it for an hour and no update and it's been canceled. VTA needs to get their business together. I want to say thank you for all the VTA people that actually do care and are respectful, but that's very few of them. And honestly everything I've been through with VTA I deserve a free bus pass for a while this is unacceptable

    Came here a few times for my inlaws' senior passes. Security guards and support personnel were very…read morefriendly, professional, and knowledgeable with what they do.

    A Call for Genuine Transportation Solutions…read more It's astonishing to witness the blatant disregard for implementing an efficient route to & from south county. These areas remain starkly neglected, despite persistent appeals for more expedient transportation options. The proposed system, which serves a few bus stops -- 1 in Gilroy, 1 in Morgan Hill, & potentially another in South San Jose--would connect a lot quicker to Diridon Station, but the current system, with several bus stops along Monterey Rd without ever going in the freeway, fails to quickly connect to Diridon Station for Caltrain. This oversight particularly affects those living just south of the Caltrain service cutoff during off-peak hours. Moreover, the notion of a separate route connecting to the North San Jose/Berryessa BART Station remains a distant dream. The insistence that the Rapid 568 is sufficient simply because it bears the label "rapid" is both misleading & disheartening. Residents of Morgan Hill & Gilroy have expressed that these services are far too slow, which takes over 2 times or even 3 or 4 times as long as a car ride. The reality is stark: driving from Morgan Hill to Diridon Station takes around 25 minutes, while the so-called "Rapid 568" drags on for over 50 minutes. One could just as easily rename it the "Less Slow 568." The route's failure to utilize the freeway for faster transit is baffling. The bus company even sometimes has the buses to say "Spare The Air", & to encourage people to take the bus instead of driving, which comes at the expense of their sleep time if they choose to use it for work purposes, all by which they won't if they have the ability & means to get a car. And despite the bus company encouraging people to take public transportation, most of those working in the corporate or headquarters level of the VTA bus company drive to & from work & don't do their part, highlighting a major hypocrisy among them! Is it too much to ask for a direct bus route that connects Gilroy to Diridon Station with minimal stops near the freeway? The alternatives are hardly feasible. For those considering rideshare options like Lyft or Uber, the financial burden is staggering--always over $30 or even often over $40 for a one-way trip, not to mention the expectation of tipping the driver. This scenario is not sustainable for daily commutes, especially for those in Morgan Hill or Gilroy who lack access to a car. A former VTA employee I spoke with expressed dismay at the apparent apathy within route management. He remarked that many of the staff seem to go to work just for a paycheck, a troubling indictment of a system that should prioritize the needs of its community. Imagine the transformation that could occur if these decision-makers were to relocate to Morgan Hill or Gilroy & rely on public transportation for their daily commutes. Their perspective would undoubtedly shift, catalyzing much-needed improvements in service. Unfortunately, the prevailing reality is that public transportation is not serving the people effectively. While there may be lofty goals to encourage a shift away from personal vehicles, such aspirations falter when faced with the prospect of sacrificing over 1 hour of commuting time for a 1 way trip, which means well over 2 hours in total daily commute when going to work only to much of San Jose & especially Santa Clara, especially if it means sacrificing almost half of normal sleep time just to take public transportation. This isn't merely conjecture; it's a palpable truth that drives individuals back to their cars, seeking convenience over inconvenience. The cycle is self-perpetuating. As more individuals opt for personal vehicles due to the inefficiencies of public transport, the ridership declines, leading to dwindling revenue for the very services that should be thriving. When I finally buy my own car, I won't miss public transportation in the slightest. I will relish the freedom it provides, & I can only predict that my experience will mirror that of countless others who find themselves in the same position. Ultimately, the message is clear: you reap what you sow. If public transportation continues on this path of neglect & inefficiency, it risks becoming obsolete. Change won't come from mere wishful thinking; it must be driven by the voices of those who demand better. Only through active engagement & persistent requests & having the city or county to put more serious people who won't be spending tax money unwisely but rather wisely to put more efficient route to work can we hope to create a transportation system that truly serves its community.
