    Get yourself a Clipper Card no waiting in line just tag before you leave and when you arrive at destination. Makes it so much easier I use it for everything transit :)

    If you're taking a bike on the train attach a destination tag to it. Conductors sometimes have them, but you can always write/call Caltrain an they'll send some to you.

    Parking is free after 6pm, though that info doesn't seem to be on any web site I could find. Here is the sign!!

    Easy to reach, buy your ticket and board the train. There are pretty much always a few taxis if you need

    If you're taking a bullet train get there early. There are only 2 Caltrain ticket vending machines here and there are always lines.

    To avoid parking hassles in SFO, I used Caltrain to reach and use public transport within city...break from driving for a day :)

    There's a free parking lot at Evelyn & Charles - spots fill up fast, but you can always find one if you're catching the 6:13 bullet.

    There's a second crossing at far end - get in from here to be in the first car. Helps if you want to make a run for the Muni in SF.

    Confusing signs. Side with all the buildings is to San Jose. Side with all the trees is to SF.

    Use the other Caltrain Sunnyvale station foursquare listed. I thought it was strange when I achieved mayorship in three days.

    Parking in the back on Hendy street is significantly less chaotic than the front parking lot.

    The recorded bird calls are so effective even people want to run away. Be prepared for the noise.

    Need to park for more than 24 hours? The only option seems to be on the right-hand side of Macy's back parking lot (behind yellow line). Everywhere else there are time limits.

    Avoid the parking lot at all costs between 5 and 8. Bad driver mania.
