Cottle station is a light rail stop managed by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) and is served by the Blue Line within the VTA light rail network. This station was included in the initial Guadalupe Line, which marked the inaugural light rail route connecting Santa Teresa to Tasman.
Location
Positioned in the center median of State Route 85, near Cottle Road in the southern region of San Jose, California, Cottle station lies roughly one mile away from Caltrain's Blossom Hill stop. The station is also situated close to a nearby hospital and the campus of Hitachi Global Storage Technologies. While Caltrain operates in this vicinity predominantly during weekday peak hours, VTA's light rail offers more regular service throughout other times, although with comparatively slower travel speeds.
Notes
- Shuttle services connect this station to the local Kaiser hospital and the Hitachi facility.
- Located about one mile (1.6 km) from the Blossom Hill Caltrain station, Cottle provides light rail transit options outside of Caltrain’s peak-direction commuter periods.
