Quick Transportation Tips
Buy a Clipper Card at the airport or any Walgreens to tap-and-ride Caltrain, VTA light rail and buses across the Bay Area.
Caltrain runs up the Peninsula to San Francisco, board at Diridon Station and sit on the right side for bay views.
VTA Airport Flyer (Route 60) links SJC terminals to Metro/Airport light-rail station in under 10 minutes.
Use the Transit app to see real-time arrivals for VTA buses and light rail. It also shows bike-share docks near stops.
