Announcing iCaltrain for Mobile Phones
iCaltrain is now available for web-enabled cell phones at m.iCaltrain.com. The primary design goal was keeping it as lightweight as possible while supporting different screen sizes. Similar to the iPhone version (iCaltrain.com), it’s easy to access the return trip schedule.

Thanks for offering this nifty service.
You should add in a name record for “mobile.icaltrain.com” which points to the smaller & simpler “m.icaltrain.com”.
I like the name “m”, but many mobile services can be found at sites that start with the name “mobile”.
Hope this suggestion helps!

Michael, thank you for the suggestion!
“mobile.icaltrain.com” now points to “m.icaltrain.com”.

Thank you for making this! I was going slowly nuts trying to use the full web form. I moved from teh treo and I really missed the little java app with alarms, but this is huge step back in the right direction!

Totally useful. If you get a chance please add the palo alto california station timetable. Great work

Susie, the Palo Alto California Ave station is listed as “California Ave.” station, which is how Caltrain has it listed on their schedule.

Some ideas:
1) Consider having the option to sort the station list by stop order - rather than alphabetical
2) Some may find it faster to transfer trains; example - travel from 22nd to Lawrence - a transfer at Mtn View is faster at some times

Thanks for this service! It would be cool if you could add train estimated arrival times at each stop.

@Tim, estimated arrival times isn’t available for Caltrain yet, though they’ve announced plans to do so in 2008.

I love this app. One suggestion is to add the 22nd street station with that schedule. This way folks would know which trains stop at this station.I was waiting for the train and it just went passed me

@ayesha, glad you find it useful. 22nd Street station should already appear as the first station in the station list. Let me know if that’s not the case. thanks.
