Off-campus public transport training system &; Bart
Caltrain system and BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit System) are two famous public transport systems in the Bay Area.
Caltrain is a railway connecting San Francisco and Gilroy, with stops in Palo Alto, Mountain View, San Jose and other places. It is very convenient for students to go to San Francisco. The one-way fare from Palo Alto to San Francisco is $7.25, and the all-day unlimited fare is $65,438 +04.5. You can buy tickets directly from the station ticket vending machine, and the one-way time is between 40 minutes and 1 hour. Please click here to check the timetable, stations and fares of Caltrain trains.
BART is a light rail transit connecting East Bay cities such as San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. It is a transportation system operated by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit Bureau, with four lines (red, yellow, blue and green). Students who often go to San Francisco and Berkeley may use BART, and the fare depends on the distance. Please click here for details. There is a ticket vending machine at the station. You need to buy a ticket before boarding. When getting on and off the bus, the ticket must be inserted into the card reader, and the system will automatically deduct the fare.
Express card: similar to our domestic bus card, all public transport vehicles are common, and its fare is more favorable than direct ticket purchase. If students often take Caltrain or BART, they can consider buying one.
Taxi. Taxi.
Most Americans drive by themselves, and there are few taxis. On the streets of Stanford, it is rare to see taxis on call. If students need to take the bus, they must call 800-725-1777/650-321-3535 in advance, or click here to send an email to make an appointment. When making an appointment, they must inform/fill in: name, date and time.
Charging standard: generally depends on the driver. If you meet a good driver, you may not charge any points on the price list. And some drivers will charge you 10% to 20%, which is normal.
Bike bike
The campus of Stanford is very big. Although there are free shuttle buses on and off campus, it is not as convenient as bicycles. Stanford University is very supportive and advocates that students can travel by bike. There are 65,438+08,000 bicycle racks on campus for everyone to keep their bicycles, and there are many free maintenance stations (such as Galvez Mall and Escondido, medical college, parking and transportation services, etc.). , can be inflated and repaired). In addition, students should remember to pay $3.50 to register their cars with the security department and add a U-lock to avoid theft.
Students can choose to buy a new car at Wal-Mart, Target or bicycle shop, and the price is generally more than $200. Of course, there are also some bicycle shops near the school, which are more expensive. Its advantage lies in convenient maintenance and repair. The nearest store is located in Tressider Union, where bicycles can also be rented. When buying used cars, you can pay attention to the private resale information on the school forum or post bar. Please click here for details. In addition, it is to find a second-hand physical store to buy directly, and its price is determined according to the old and new degree and brand model of the car. I would like to remind you that motor vehicles in the United States are very fast, so you must wear a helmet and protective gear when riding a bicycle. Safety comes first!
PS: The ground of Stanford campus is relatively flat, so riding a scooter to class is also a good choice. Students who are interested in skateboarding may wish to consider it. The price is also cheaper than bicycles.
