It's a good start, but as someone who live in Cupertino, my options are now:

- Drive to Sunnyvale (15min) and then take CalTrain to SF (45-75min)

- Drive to the Great Mall (30 min) and then take BART to SF (60 min)

Would be nice if they let them electrify CalTrail or bring Bart all the way south. I can keep hoping!

Not sure if the money's there, but VTA has plans to run BART to a location close to San Jose Diridon station. http://www.vta.org/bart/stationsphaseII-diridon

The measure to fund it passed, to the money's there. It's just gonna take 10-15 years to build it.

One of the things on VTA's plan for Measure B funds is to extend the light rail further down 85. So, with any hope, you should have a transit station that's a lot closer.
