Earth Day 2017

This Earth Day at San Jose State University was held on Thursday 20. It was my first Earth Day event at school and I can not wait for more events in the coming year. The best part of the event was the petting zoo! I absolutely loved the llamas, bunnies, and chickens. So freaking cute and fluffy. 

After the event I took VTA bus home and I notice more people then usually were taking the bus! 

On Saturday, the actually day of Earth Day, I went on a California Native tour that was hosted by the Master Gardener Society.

San Jose Sharks Closing Season

The San Jose Sharks lost round 1 of the Playoff to the Oiler last night! The score was 3-1. This could have been a lot worse, the Sharks could  have lost by 4.

Thanks Sharks Hockey for being the best team ever and playing your hardest. See you next year!

On April 18, 2017 at 12pm SPUR is holding a forum about a three-year plan to encourage immigrant integration and build upon that community’s strengths and contributions.

Go Sharks!!!

Spring I finally here and that means summer is around the corner! This summer I plan on watching the San Jose Sharks in the Stanely Cup Playoff! The VTA has many routes to the Shark Tank (SAP Center) and the surrounding area. I personally take VTA Bus 23 or the VTA lightrail to the tank.

Final Notice for DASH 201 and Express 181

In May the Transportation Solution at SJSU will soon know if certain bus route is going to be canceled. I am mostly talking about 201 DASH and Express 181. 

Oh No Dash! 

The VTA is maybe planning to discount DASH bus line. DASH (Downtown Area Shuttle BUS) is free to all SJSU students and is one of the many transportation that is manly used by student if they are getting off of  Diridon  Station by the SAP center. The wait time for DASH is 15 minutes and for students to walk from Diridon Station it would take 30 to an hour.

Next Stop Diridon Station (SAN JOSE) 

On Wednesday (3/29) SPUR is having a free open forum about how to improve structure and space around the new Diridon Station. This station is not only has the VTA train but the CalTrain and is one of the major hubs for SJSU students to load and unload back home.

I will be attending this forum because I want to know what will happen once BART come into this area of Downtown San Jose.

"VTA: Solution that Moves You"

The VTA website and some buses got upgrade over these few months. I saw one of the new VTA Bus 25 and the new logo was on the outside in a light blue color. I can not wait for all
buses to be updated with the new logo, interior, and free wi-fi.

The new design on the VTA buses!!

BART Silicon Valley Extension: Part 2

 BART Silicon Valley Extension: Part 2

The Berryessa extension is ahead of schedule but might be opening in Fall 2017 or 2018.  This line extends from Warm Spring to Milpitas Station then to a pedestrian bridge to the VTA's Montague light rail station and that will lead to the BART Berryessa station.

So many new changes coming soon. I hope the City of San Jose is ready for all of this!

BART: Phrase 1

Silicon Valley BART extension is a 3 phrase expansion. The first part is five mile long extension of  Warm Springs to South Fremont BART station. This expansion is almost done. The grand opening of the Warm Spring/ South Fremont was suppose to open on 2014 but go delayed many time.

 BART Opening soon in San Jose, California

I am so excited that the BART is going to be opening soon in San Jose! Can not wait to travel to San Fransisco without all the hassle of driving and parking. I personal love going to SF to dine on new food, explore all the parks, and of course shopping! When I go to SF, I usually have one event planned but then the rest is me just explore the city. Having the BART come to my hometown would make it easier for me in the future encase I want to work in SF.
