From Aug 7 - Sep 21, 2017, the normal pick-up location at the Palo Alto CalTrain Station for Stanford's free Marguerite shuttle to campus is moved due to roadwork. After you have gotten off the train (northbound or southbound), walk to the west side of the depot, facing the normal bus stop circle. Walk to the right (north) into the temporary pick-up area established and look for the "Y" sign (white letter on a red circle). It is the first pick-up area on the right side as you approach the loading areas. (Do not take the "Y"-L or "Y"-Express lines, located further down the platform area.) The free shuttle buses comes every 20 minutes (or more frequently during peak times). It will be a short 6-to-8 minute ride to the "Alumni Center" stop on Galvez Street, located diagonally across the street from the Visitor Center.
