Justin Mendoza

ce: the dictionary offers several definitions for this word, including: somebody who is outstandingly good at something.

In the Bay Area, of course, ACE takes on a different meaning: it’s the Altamont Commuter Express, the train service that connects the Central Valley with Silicon Valley.

Both definitions work for Justin Mendoza. He is someone who is outstandingly good at using public transportation and he is also a regular ACE rider to San Jose from his home in Manteca.

“From Diridon Station I am able to board numerous buses or light rail to get to my various destinations. Getting around San Jose and its surrounding areas is so easy using VTA,” Justin explains. Those favorite destinations, he explained, include Westfield Valley Fair and Great America, along with other various locations around Santa Clara County.

What does he like about using VTA services? 

The Manteca Ace replies:  “I just relax on the bus and light rail enjoying the different scenery of the Santa Clara Valley. It is so different than the scenery back home here in San Joaquin County...so much more fast paced. I enjoy it!”

Justin concludes his story by offering the following observations: “I believe that VTA truly strives to provide the best service available in public transportation...not only do they provide the best they exceed the highest of standards. I am always very satisfied with my experiences utilizing VTA's services, from its coach operators to its telephone customer service representatives...they truly personify the word professional in every aspect. I'm a big public transit advocate utilizing our transit out here in San Joaquin County...San Joaquin RTD...which we have buses that take passengers from here to San Jose and connect with VTA's service. Thank you VTA for the awesome job that you do!”

Justin, please allow us to also thank you. We appreciate the fact you choose to use VTA services.
