Actually, the problem is not how can i get from SF to MV - i found out that the best choice is the Caltrain -, but the problem is how i can come back from MV to San Fran after the show? As far as i know, the last cal train may leave around 11pm from MV to SF direction, but i can imagine that at this time the JM's show is not over. My question is: Is anyone of you from SF and plans to go to the concert by car and could pick me up SF after the concert? (Of course, I would pay some money for the ride, but since i'm a student don't expect that much money, pls ) If anyone here has another idea, how i could return to SF downtown after the concert please let me know. Thank you very much for reading, Gunnar

(make sure you find info on that too) ~Miguel~

And based on jaded's comment above, there should be a busline available to take you to the venue (same when you get back). You can always call Caltrain for info as well ~Miguel~

It's 2.3 miles. Less than I thought, but still not that close. But walkable if you are used to walking a lot. The weather shouldn't be too bad either.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Hey Gunnar, As jadedihateit put it, Shoreline is a good 4 or 5 miles from the train station. Here's the number to a taxi service if you really need it 650-366-9999, but I've never taken a taxi in the peninsula. US Olympic Freestyle Wrestling Team 2008 Leaving for Beijing 8/2/08

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	gunnar, you can TRY hostelworld.com and type in Shorline's address/zip code but i highly doubt you'll pull up a hostel. if you don't, go to hotels.com and type in shoreline's address to find the closest hotel. you can sort by price per night. mayer's portion of the program usually lasts just under 2 hours. typically, that comes out to be about 11pm give or take a few minutes. -cait

It's only a 2-Star, but I don't think you'd care much anyway since you'll only be there for a night. It's just a little over one mile from the venue & it's only $85. There's a couple other hotels nearby for around $100. i'll be at: ~~[7.23.08 Paso Robles, CA *M&G*]~~ ~~[7.25.08 Marysville, CA]~~ ~~[7.26.08 Mountain View, CA]~~ [8.28.08 DRH @ The Loft ATL] [8.29.08 Atlanta, GA]

It's a few miles from anything out in the middle of a marshland. Downtown Mt. View (castro street) has fun shopping and restaurants. Otherwise it's kindof a small little city.
