VTA Light Rail: Orange Line: Milpitas - Downtown Mountain View

Buy transit merch: https://transitoutfitters.com -- Experience a lengthy journey on a nearly empty VTA light-rail train on the newly unveiled Orange Line, which travels from Alum Rock in East San Jose to Downtown Mountain View. The journey takes us through the cities of Milpitas, San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Mountain View, in that order. We begin our journey at Milpitas (formerly Montague) station; along the way, we pass by the Great Mall, Levi's Stadium, NASA Ames Research Center, and many different office parks home to various prominent companies. VTA's new service changes on December 28, 2019, prompted the reshuffling of light rail and the formation of the Orange Line, which replaced two lines in favor of direct service between Alum Rock and Mountain View. (Judging from this video, it's done little to improve VTA's modest ridership numbers). The Orange Line connects with the Blue Line at Baypointe and with the Green Line at Champion, Lick Mill, Great America and Old Ironsides.
