Location

Capitol is a Caltrain station located off Monterey Road near the Capitol Expressway in southern San Jose, California. The station is only served during weekday peak hours, with northbound trains in the morning and southbound trains in the evening.

The Communications Hill residential neighborhood, located just to the west, has no direct pedestrian access to the station. There are plans to construct a pedestrian bridge to link the station to the neighborhood.[4]
