Question
Hi. I plan on flying into San Francisco and staying at a hotel there, but I want to go to a concert in Mountain View. Is there an easy way to get there without driving? Maybe some sort of public transportation? Thanks

Answer
Danielle,

CalTrain may be your best bet, but check the hours as this is a commuter train between San Francisco and San Jose and it's hours may not run as late in the evening as your concert for the return trip.   Also, Google Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority for a trip planner that can help you if CalTrain doesn't fill your needs.
