The region is fairly developed with bus lines and connections via daily train runs that go all the way to Sacramento and further east. However, the core transportation is still the highways which are best utilized with a personal vehicle. That said, people can obtain bus connections to Santa Cruz as well. So, with a bit of planning, a person can get around fairly well in the area. It's important to plan for timing when getting around in Cupertino via highways. The daily commute in the morning and afternoon can be considerable, delaying trips significantly. A number of fast lanes do exist, but they require drivers to pay a pass fee with a monitor every month to enjoy the better lane.
