History
Currently an extension is being built from Fremont to Warm Springs station in the Warms Springs District in Fremont, this will be followed by the Berryessa Extension into eastern San Jose. The Alum Rock station was originally going to be part of this extension however funding could not be secured. Therefore the San Jose extension was split into two phases. This station will be located between the Berryessa and Downtown San Jose Station. This station will connect with the VTA buses.
