Eh. Caltrain parallels US-101 pretty closely and El Camino even closer. Between these two I doubt it will be more tortuous than a Caltrain local service (sooo many stops) and to save $50+ on the alternatives, easily worth it. Towards the beginning of my career (while still relatively poor) I got stranded in San Jose after Caltrain hours. I got a ride with someone to San Bruno, waited in the cold and dark for a bus with my laptop as a space-heater, caught the night bus, and after ~2.5 hours and 3 buses -- including a transfer in a dark creepy neighborhood at the southern edge of San Francisco proper that I didn't actually expect I'd need to make -- I made it the rest of the way home. Now THAT was tortuous. :b
