Why? Last I checked, it's
* Depart SFO via BART
* Get off BART at the first stop, Millbrae
* Exit BART and enter Caltrain
Is there some complication I'm missing (other than the fact that neither BART nor Caltrain are 24/7 services)?
- terinjokes 1y agoDepending on the year and day of the week it also involved a transfer at San Bruno. Fortunately they've since reverted back to always running to Millbrae from the airport.

- simoncion 1y agoOh, yeah. I had forgotten about the irregular Millbrae service. I always thought that to be quite strange.
- jen20 1y agoThe complication is not physically how to do it, but that the timing is not arranged to line up well, resulting in excessive waits.
- simoncion 1y agoI see. Yeah, unless it's rush hour, SF Bay Area public transit is nearly always slower than hiring a private car. I'm glad that it exists, but do wish the towns in the area cared enough to fix that.
