Pros: On time, friendly staff, comfortable trip! Cons: Signage at the Fremont station. There is no one there to ask questions and many people are confused as to which side of the track they should be on. Tips: I’ve learned that if you are going north you need to be on the far side of the station and going south on the side nearest the station.
