San Jose’s Diridon station is currently a host to a formidable number of transit services. It hosts commuter Caltrain, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s light rail, Amtrak, Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) commuter rail services, and several bus services. Three upcoming transit additions will significantly expand the intensity of transit services at this station. First, California High-Speed Rail (HSR) plans to create a stop here, creating a faster connection to San Francisco, and connecting to a number of Central Valley locations and Los Angeles. Second, the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) heavy rail system has plans to connect to this station, giving San Jose residents convenient rail access to San Francisco and the cities along the East Bay Area including Berkeley and Oakland. Third, an automated transit network will connect the station to the Mineta San Jose International Airport. These plans will enhance local, regional, and statewide access to Diridon Station, increasing its regional significance, and amplifying its potential for transit-oriented development.
