Right now, it would take me 41 minutes by car and 48 minutes by BART to reach my office in SF, according to Google Maps.It would cost me a bridge toll and an exorbitant amount in parking to drive, and wouldn't even be much faster, due to 17 minutes of traffic delays (which is fairly typical).
Needless to say, I take BART, because ~$4 in fares beats spending ~$25-30 in parking and tolls for the privilege of sitting in traffic half the trip.

- pmiller2 10y agoPretty much, and that's only because my office is 10 minutes walk from BART.
- r00fus 10y agoGotta say SF Bay is definitely NOT a best case public transportation scenario. Try Hong Kong, Paris or London. Of course those places you don't just pay for parking, you pay congestion charges, high gas prices and steep registration prices (HK) as well. Oh and toll roads. It's quite stunning the amount of things that are under costed in the US to enable our car economy.
