6/22 What is 'THE STANDARD' way to transfer between BART and Caltrain in
downtown SF? I've tried walking and it takes 21 minutes and is not so
pedestrian friendly. I don't know how much I should trust MUNI having
almost no experience with it...
\_ The problem with the Metro is that the Caltrain bound trains don't
come very often, so it will likely take you just as long to get
there via the Metro as it would walking. It will be more
pedestrian friendly than trying to walk, though. I will note that
the Muni Metro is probably the only form of mass transit in the
Bay Area that makes BART seem great.
\_ And yet Muni carries more passengers per day than all the other
transit systems in the Bay Area put together.
\_ Wow. Where can I see the numbers for various systems?
\_ Is "Metro" the light-rail thingie in SF? The Muni buses seemed
fine when I used them a long time ago. The drivers seemed to
drive pretty fast.
\_ i think there's a regular bus between montgomery BART and
townshend caltrain station
\_ Which BART and Caltrain stations are your origin and destination?
Would it make more sense to transfer at the Milbrae Intermodal?
\_ Wait for the new train/bus superstation to get built.
\_ 5 years >>> 21 minutes.
\_ Take the N Judah. It takes 12 minutes and runs every 6 or 7. It
is also on the nextbus network, so you can either go look at the
sign and see when the next one will be running or check the
schedule on your cell phone.
schedule on your cell phone. If it looks like the wait is too
long, you can always catch the 15 or 30 or 45. -ausman |
