It is HUGELY wasteful. The statement "one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world" is a prime example of obscuring the truth, as well. When considering full-system efficiency this is undoubtedly one of the most wasteful structures in the world. 12000 employees, 14000 parking spaces, and a 1-hour walk to the nearest point of mass tranportation (Lawrence Caltrain, which is poorly served; the more frequently served Sunnyvale Caltrain is a 75-minute walk from this building).

There are VTA buses. They come every 30 minutes, and it would take you about 30 minutes to get to the Sunnyvale Caltrain station.

As far as I can tell from the schedule the minimum bus trip from this site to Sunnyvale Caltrain is 44 minutes, plus an average 10 minutes for headway. That assumes you did not start off on the east face of the UFO, in which case you should add a walk of up to a mile to get to the VTA stop on Wolfe.

Walking would be just about as fast.

I'm not familiar with the area. Is real estate in short supply?
