Trains, buses—there are a lot of local public transit options to get to Menlo.
To find your public transit options to get to and from school, use the Public Transit Trip Planner on 511.org—look on the left side of the homepage. You can even use their mobile app for help on the go.

Menlo School Shuttle Bus & Menlo Caltrain schedule
If you are planning to take the Caltrain Shuttle to and/or from Menlo this year, please fill out this form.
Please note the schedule is subject to change based on Caltrain times. All students must wear a mask at all times on the shuttle. The afternoon shuttles will pick up in the Loop from Menlo. The shuttle will not wait. If morning trains are late, students should be prepared to walk or take an earlier shuttle. The last morning shuttle will leave to take the students that have arrived and may not be able to make it back in time for delays.
