> Are there any park-n-rides in the areas that are a long commute from city centers? There are two train lines, Caltrain and Bart. Both have park and ride in stations outside city limits. For people working in the city, they would park in the nearest suburban train station and take the train. The problem is on the other side in the city. A lot of offices are not close to any train station. Especially if you're coming from the south bay (using caltrain). Caltrain in the city is in a weird corner. You'll need to take a bus/uber after the train which is slower than walking sometimes. > Also, is it common enough that if you are using public transportation, where you can VPN in via cellular, and start your day early (and have that "count" as part of you work day) Yes. But the connectivity sucks enough to not be able to vpn often. > Or do most employers frown on that? That's between you and the employer. Typically, you'll see many people stay back longer (free dinners and all that) and that does put some peer pressure.
