However, there are airport shuttle van services like supershuttle 4-5 passengers being dropped off on your way south.I'm arriving on Sunday morning, so have plenty of time, and will take Caltrain down (BART to Millbrae, then Caltrain), sure it'll take 2h, but any van service wouldn't be much faster. During the week, or out of daylight hours it's a much less sensible idea.
I disagree… I’ve done it during the week and it’s not that bad. I find Lyft to be the most desirable option (About $65), with Uber as a second choice. Third choice would be BaRT/CalTrain (to Diridon) followed by either a very short Lyft ride or VTA bus or light rail. Another option (if you get on the right CalTrain) is Tamien station and connection to light rail there. Light rail gets you _VERY_ close to the Fairmont. The Fairmont has entrances on Market St. (Front Door direct to Lobby) and First St. (Back door, hallway to lobby). The VTA light rail northbound is on First St. I’m not 100% sure of the light rail routing from the Diridon station to downtown as it’s tied to the Almaden line and I’m usually dealing with the Santa Teresa line. I, myself intend to bicycle to the meeting as my home is only about 7 miles away. Owen
