This is an edge case, and you can think of it as a side effect coming from living in SF, where everybody has to deal with bay bridge problems. I understand your frustration but I would split the blame 50-50 between the city for not providing transportation, and Uber to not red flagging this problem and offer a special solution for this.
- cozzyd 11y agoSF provides great transportation (via BART) to its own airport and decent transportation (also via BART) to OAK.

- cozzyd 11y agoThere's always the multimodal option (cab -> BART)
- istvan__ 11y agoBART os not even remotely close to be good, but it is lightyears away from being great. The only thing that is consistent about BART service is the interruption. It is kind of funny how people from US see BART as a great service while people from Europe or other places with excellent public transportation see it as rather expensive and bad. Just one minor example why I refuse to use BART: if I was using it i had to combine with a bus service. The bus service is leaving exactly 1 minute sooner than the BART comes in to the station making sure you have to wait additional 20 minutes. This makes my commute exactly 1 hour (each way) while using BART, while if I am driving it is exactly 20 minutes. The pricing difference is insignificant, does not justify the lost time. If BART was that great, we would see significantly less traffic on 280/101 in the commuting hours.
