Best way to make it to SF from Santa Clara
Ok, I'm venting ... just slightly here.
Saturday, I realize the easiest way to get to the Oddball ride is to ride to Caltrain, and take Caltrain to the end. It's only 1 block from AT&T park. So I took Caltrain from Lawrence with a final destination of 4th and King St in SF. The far was $7.50. So round trip is $13.
Today, I did Pete's ride, but this time, I took Bart for two reasons ... First, the ride start is 1 block from the Embarcadero stop on Bart. Second, I had some money left on my Bart ticket (~ $10.50), so I might as well use it.
After I completed my roundtrip on Bart, I had enough on my Bart ticket. I do have to mention that I took Bart from the Millbrae station, so it does require me to drive from Santa Clara to Millbrae. I guess that's cheating a little bit.
Another reason for taking Bart ... it has more frequent departure times.
