  1. take Caltrain. they have express trains and some experimental bullet trains (not like the japan ones, but they are faster with less stops) that go direct almost.


  2. yes -- check it out

  3. Caltrain

    San Jose stations are:

    - Main station at 65 Cahill St

    -Tamien (1355 l**k Ave, at light rail station)

    - Capitol (3400 Monterey Hwy)

    - Blossom Hill (5560 Monterey Hwy)

    There is a minor station College Park, at 780 Stockton Ave near Bellarmine Prep with very limited service.

    SF stations are:

    - South SF (490 Dubuque Ave near 101)

    - Bayshore (400 Tunnel Ave)

    - 1149  22nd Avenue

    - and the terminus at 700  4th St & Townsend near the Giants baseball park.

    Fares between SF and SJ Cahill are $6.75 one-way.  Discounts are available for 10-ride tickets, seniors and monthly passes.

    Weekday trains run from 4:30 am to 10:30 pm  with trains approximately every 30 minutes, and very frequent service (10-15 minute separations) during commute hours.  

    The regular train schedule is 1-1/2 hours from SJ to SF (100-numbered trains), while express service is 1 hour on the Baby Bullet trains (300-numbered trains.)  The 200-number limited trains operate somewhat faster than the regular trains.

  4. Yes, there is Santa Clara Caltrain station near the downtown San Jose.

  5. Yes, the Caltrain runs between San Francisco and San Jose.  It takes a while though, unless you catch the express trains in mornings and evenings.  It's still quicker than driving no matter what, though.

  6. caltrain goes from gilroy to san francisco
