Comments on: practical reasons why BART-to-SFO is a disaster http://www.sworddance.com/blog/2008/06/21/practical-reasons-why-bart-to-sfo-is-a-disaster/ Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:11:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Jason http://www.sworddance.com/blog/2008/06/21/practical-reasons-why-bart-to-sfo-is-a-disaster/#comment-16144 Jason Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:52:15 +0000 http://www.sworddance.com/blog/?p=151#comment-16144 Interesting. I hadn't considered those particular issues from where I sit. In contrast, from Oakland, it's a LOT easier than it used to be to get to SFO. It takes exactly one step. Get on BART, and 52 minutes later you're at the airport. Sure, it takes a while, but it's ridiculously convenient. (In fact, now it's easier to get to SFO from downtown Oakland than it is to get to OAK!) Previous alternatives were these: (AC transit to Transbay Terminal OR BART to Daly City or Colma) AND transfer to SamTrans - or - having to get someone to drive all the way to SFO and back - or - (for people with cars) insane parking fees at SFO So it depends on where you're coming from.... Interesting. I hadn’t considered those particular issues from where I sit.
