Taking train from San Jose to San Luis Obispo? -

This is my first trip by train in USA, and I m a international student. This is my third week here in USA. So I m really confused about taking train to San Luis Obispo. I need to visit my host family in Grover Beach, and my current city is Cupertino. I think San Jose is the nearest train station. Which train should I take to arrive in San Luis Obispo? Could you please give me the link of the website that I can book the ticket? I ll travel alone, so I don t wanna get lost. Please please anyone help me. Is it right to take train from San Jose Caltrain Station?? Thanks for your help.

Use the Amtrak bus system from San Jose Caltrain Station to San Luis Obispo. It s possible to catch the Starlight train from the station, but time and convience wise, won t make much difference. Amtrak bus from San Jose to SLO takes about 4hrs, as it s a straight shot down HWY 101. Check with Amtrakwww.amtrak.com/

You need to take Greyhound, CalTrain is for San Jose to SF only, it doesn t go to SLO:http://www.greyhound.com/Cost is approximately $40 one way and takes 5 hrs.

The ONLY train going from San Jose to San Luis Obispo is the Amtrak Coast Starlight . You can book a reservation at www.amtrak.com . I believe it only runs once a day.
