This station is the only station close to my home. My daughter is a student at San Jose State and uses light rail to get to school. We do not have any convient transit busses to fill her needs now that the station is closed. Closing this station is a travesty.

The Evelyn station was underutilized and to keep it going slows the entire line down. It's too bad that the few people that used it didn't predict this problem and encourage others to use it.
