Take the first Caltrain (train #421) on Saturday morning. This train leaves San Jose at 7:00 am and Palo Alto at 7:31 am. Detailed schedules for other stations are available at http://www.caltrain.com/schedules/weekend-timetable.html.

Option 1: Get off Caltrain at the Broadway station. Walk across the station parking lot on the left side of the train to the SamTrans Route 292 bus stop on California Drive. Board SamTrans Route 292 in the northbound direction (towards San Francisco) and get off at Bayshore and Old County Road in Brisbane. Walk west along Old County Road to the start.

The train arrives at the Broadway station at 8:06 am. Route 292 departs the station at approximately 8:20 amand arrives in Brisbane at 8:59 am (http://www.samtrans.com/schedulesandmaps/timetables/292.html)

Option 2: Get off Caltrain at the Bayshore station, which is about 2 miles away from the start. Exit the station and jog south along Tunnel Ave. Tunnel Ave. becomes Old County Road when it crosses Bayshore Blvd, which takes you directly to the start. The train arrives at Bayshore at 8:25 am.

Fare: Caltrain depends on where you board and exit. If you do Option 1, SamTrans is $2.25 cash ($2.05 with Clipper) but you also save $2.25 on Caltrain because you are traveling a shorter distance.
