Pretty convenient for going into the city

This is the farthest the BART goes out unless you mention Antioch and Pittsburg. It has good distances to Pleasanton downtowns.

The Dublin/Pleasantan/BART station is located at 5801 Owens BLVD in Pleasantan, CA. As of all BART stops and trains one must stay aware and alert. This station is the last stop heading east from S. F. and stops in Dublin/Pleasantan This train runs every 20 minutes. Lots of parking in front. Restrooms are male/female and are in need of a proper cleaning. The staff is helpful and nice.

This is one of the better BART stations; relatively clean and safe. This review is more directed at the entire experience. A couple things stick out to me after riding BART every workday over the past month to commute to SF. First, the noise of the tracks can be very jarring whether it is a totally packed train or you're sitting in there alone it can sound like very loud demonic screeching. I wear headphones in both ears and have my music at full blast and I can still hear the tracks. Second, buying tickets is not a simple affair if you are relatively inexperienced with commuting on trains (like me) and I've noticed the system almost seems to be intentionally designed to waste your money. It took me forever to figure out how much to pay for parking and where to park. I learned the hard way when I unknowingly parked on the permit side of the lot and got a $75 ticket for leaving my car there for 5 hours which floored me. You also need cash to refill the tickets if you don't have a clipper card which is mystifying because you can purchase the ticket with a credit card. This may seem like a small and obvious thing to someone familiar with public transit but after a 45 minute, stinky, screeching train ride I just want to leave the station so I end up wasting money on an unpleasant experience. I pay $13.60 for a round trip ticket which just feels steep to me considering the condition of some of the trains. It is a long ride so I get why they would charge that but it still bothers me. With only a month of consistent use I can say with conviction that it needs major improvements considering how many people use it on a daily basis. EDIT Just buy a clipper card and refill it if you plan on using this train for more than one trip. It's easy once you get used to it.
