Transit Connections
Fremont station is an important regional transit transfer point, as it is a hub for AC Transit and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) buses.
AC Transit operates the following route from the station:
- One Transbay route, Line U, that provides service to Stanford University using the Dumbarton Bridge and also serves Fremont Centerville station that provides connections to Altamont Commuter Express and Amtrak trains.
- Several local services that operate mainly within Fremont, with some routes extending further north as Bay Fair BART in San Leandro and further south as Great Mall VTA Station in Milpitas.
- One All-Nighter route (Route 801) that provides service all the way to 14th & Broadway in Downtown Oakland with a timed transfer at Uptown Transit Center (19th Street Oakland BART station) a connecting service from San Francisco at Civic Center/UN Plaza station and to Richmond Station.
VTA, on the other hand, provides several express and commuter buses that serve San Jose, Milpitas, and other attractions in the South Bay, and its services act as a connector along the only part of the ring around the Bay without rail connections (the closest such station, Fremont-Centerville Amtrak & Altamont Commuter Express station, is about two miles away; the nearest Capitol Corridor station is at Hayward, although one is proposed for Union City).

Famous quotes containing the words transit and/or connections:
“We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
...
I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
