Personally, I ride a bicycle to Sunnyvale station from Cupertino then take the bicycle on the train, and the "last five mile" problem is solved. Except that the bicycle capacity on Caltrain isn't enough, and sometimes all the bicycle spaces are filled in San Jose (on the express and Baby Bullet) so now I ride a folding bicycle to guarantee access.
Obviously not everyone can bicycle to the train, and it's more of a hassle than Park & Ride, but it also saves money, and often time, on each end. In SF, once the new Muni line opens that will make the SF end of Caltrain more accessible to more people.
I think that I'm the only candidate for Cupertino City Council that actually ever uses transit! And I am very much opposed to Measure B, which is mainly money for more roads, which won't solve the congestion problem.
