Transportation in San Jose
It can be hard to work out transportation in a new city, especially in San Jose where traffic can be tough. However, there are a number of different options if you are interested in commuting, depending on where you live. To view the public transit options, please click the "Transportation in San Jose" link above.

In addition, Cisco offers all badged employees in San Jose unlimited rides on the lightrail (VTA) through the use of an EcoPass. This is the public transportation option in the San Jose metro area. On your first day of work, you may visit building 9 to obtain your Cisco badge. While you are there, try to also pick up your free EcoPass. When looking for places to live, it might be a good idea to ask if they are located on the lightrail (VTA). There is literally a VTA stop in the center of Cisco's campus.

Also, for those of you who aren't sure what's the easiest way to get from an apartment to Cisco go to Trip Planner
