Mass Transit Options
For transportation alternatives beyond Mountain View, check out Caltrain and VTA light rail transit options.
Caltrain – Caltrain provides frequent and express bullet train service from the Mountain View Transit Center to Gilroy and San Francisco.
VTA Light Rail – VTA’s Orange Line provides light rail connection from the Mountain View Transit Center and other Mountain View locations to San Jose.
VTA also offers a Guaranteed Ride Home for qualified emergencies. If you took public transportation or another sustainable mode of transportation to work or school in Santa Clara County, you can receive reimbursement on your trip home in the event of an emergency. Visit VTA’s GRH page for more information on the program.
Paratransit Services
VTA ACCESS paratransit service is provided to eligible individuals with disabilities who cannot use conventional accessible bus and light rail transit service due to their physical, visual or cognitive disabilities.
Paratransit is shared ride public transportation, complementary to fixed route transit service. This means paratransit operates within the same service area and service times as VTA bus and light rail service. Customers can expect multiple pick-ups and drop offs along their trips, just like a bus.
