Then at the Amtrak station we bought the boxes and boxed up the bikes.
Photo taken while sitting in the Amtrak bus, that is our bikes on the rack as we go across the bay. The Amtrak station is not in San Francisco, it is in a suburb, I do not recall the name.
Keep in mind that these buses are not Amtrak buses, they are private bus companies that Amtrak will take care of ticketing a bus ride for Amtrak customers.
if you do this again, would recommend taking BART (very easy for bikes outside of rush hour) to Richmond, assuming your Amtrak train stops there. It probably does. there are some elevators or stairs to deal with, but much better for your bike IMO! or if you feel like riding, the 5 min ferry to treasure island and you can ride across the rest of the bay bridge and then to Richmond!
