If going north, walk to the northern end of the platform towards the handicap area. This is where the bombardier train usually is. Which has a table. Great for a snack and beer!
If you have a monthly Clipper Card, remember you have to tag on and tag off the first day of the month you take the train. Some conductors will write you a citation.
Although there are signs everywhere that say "NO SMOKING," people do it anyway, which is stupid. Stand more north on the platform if you're sensitive to smoke. They need to enforce the rules more.
