Looks like Bay 101 doesn't provide any kind of airport shuttle, but they say i can easily take a cab and that SJC is only 3 minutes away. How much would this cab ride cost? Is there a bus i could catch instead (like if i walked up to 1st St from Bay 101)?

Close to the airport. The cab ride will likely be in the $15-$20 range.

Edit: it may even be in the range of a $10 cab ride

Probably under $10, with a significant portion of this just the flag drop+airport extortion fee totalling $3.50. With the new traffic routing it feels like 3 miles just to get out of the airport, but in reality it's only a couple of miles even with the meandering exit.

Consider giving the cab driver a good tip. They have to wait quite a while in line at the airport to get a fare, and this is about the shortest trip (and lowest fare) that they could have before returning to the back of the queue. Not your problem, of course, but still a nice gesture.

Also, if you walk to First Street, you've covered more than half the distance to Bay101!
