Great, except… the Diridon Station is not very user friendly. Couldn’t find any electronic schedule boards to tell me where to load them on. Very stressful until I finally found the right train, thanks to a train employee!

Trip was awful. Bus was late leaving San Jose and the bus out of Oakland broke down ten minutes out and had us stuck waiting for another bus for two hours.
