Gilroy Caltrain Station

What can one say but it’s a transport station. At least it’s safer than many I have been to. The outgoing trains have been on time and the conductors always friendly.
If you want a bathroom board the train as every one of the scheduled ones has a bathroom located in the assistance car.
This is safer than the SF station as less people use it who are not riders.
Overall a 3 as yes it could be better but it works.

The bathroom is for females only!!! I wish I could give negative stars. Isn’t this sexism?!? I need to see a lawyer.

— Port-​a-​potty front-​n-​center that leaks sewage into the parking lot: Check.
— Overflowing trash cans: Check.
— Broken glass in parking lot from broken into-​car: Check.
— People sleeping on the ground: Check
Great place if this is your kind of scene!

Edit: 2014
The overflowing port-​a-​potty is gone… a marginal improvement. But people, creative as they are, have moved on to using the sidewalk and planters as urinals. The smell is only slightly less nausea inducing than a port-​a-​potty actively leaking into the parking lot. If they gave ¼ star increments, I’d bump it to 1.25, but they don’t so we’re gonna stick with one star.
Gilroy, if you’re interested in a second star, I’d happily bump up my score to two stars if you’d pressure wash/​hose the urine away once a month. C’mon.

Located in Downtown Gilroy, this multipurpose station is used for Caltrain, VTA, Salinas/​Monterey, AMTRAK, Taxi service, Greyhound and Private Bus transport. I’m a huge fan of commuting, however I am also a huge fan of using this station as a pickup point for (Private Bus) in the Daytime. The parking availability here is OK but thats where the good reviews stop. The building itself appears to just had a fresh coat of paint on it but they stopped there. The curbside pickup area is absolutely disgusting outside the doors of the station. Trash cans always seem to be full and the presence and stench of a port –o– potty is is slapped right there on the left front side of the building. I guess thats for the public. but I see it used almost exclusively for people who are NOT there to commute to work but rather ride their bikes to this «meeting point» and chug as many paper bag treats as they can. Its just sad that its in this shape. It is not a good representation of the town of Gilroy. I have been using this station for a couple of years now and really nothing has improved. Please clean this place up guys!
