It has been years since I caught BART from downtown Oakland to the BART Bay Fair Station. My…read morebrother and I took a train ride to this station to meet up with my friends for lunch at Harry's Hofbrau. In the past, it was my go to station for shopping at the Bay Fair Shopping Mall. The location was okay and convenient for shopping needs and the movie theater. I don't even know what businesses are left at the shopping mall. Then there is no telling when I will catch a train from downtown Oakland to Bay Fair.

Hayward BART Station was better than the Oakland Coliseum BART Station, IMHO. It's cleaner and…read moreeasier to access from the parking garage. However, the ticket kiosk needed a little TLC. It's not tourist friendly. It took me awhile to figure out how to use it. So did the gentleman before me. After inserting the credit card, the dispenser won't spit out the boarding card. It required other buttons pressed first. Getting here was a challenge because Google map doesn't have clear descriptions. It kept pointing me to the handicapped lot. I thought I had to park outside of this station, I almost parked at the city garage and feared it would close at certain time. The website to catch the train is essential. I went to https://www.bart.gov/schedules/eta/HAYW to get precise details about the boarding times. Me and my friend took BART to Embarcadero to see the ships at the piers. Being a frugal traveler, using public transportation is a must. So glad that BART can help me to achieve my goals.

Bart is cheap and fairly reliable - I use it now and then - depending on where you are going and if parking is difficult or expensive it can be a bad idea. I don't like the hours. That's lousy. Right as people get out of bars it shuts down. What a racket. All the 5 and 6 foot tall weeds are hard to believe. Its in a median between hayward city hall and the bus stop. Hmmm...

We have our shiny new entry/exit gates that reduce the risk of fare evasion! They even fixed a gap between the gate access entry and the new gates which I saw someone jump on day one. Now, you gotta really want it to get in and out for free, and frankly, I don't think the fare evasion community has what it takes with these new gates. We are back in the 5 star Yelp game people!

It is cheaper to take a Uber than to get a ticket for a DUI. I use it before I get BATSH%T drunk,…read morelike at a wine or bourbon tasting dinner event. What appeals to me most about Uber is that it prioritizes a passenger's safety. The app generates a one-time verification PIN that I give to the driver, and the app also permits me to opt-in for an audio recording of the entire driver/ passenger conversation. I also use Uber to buy ferry tickets to Fire Island. I click on "Account" "Transit Tickets" "Buy Ticket" and then select which part of the island I want to visit. This July 4, I plan to go to the annual Drag Queen Invasion of Fire Island, so I will be selecting "Pines". The app has a Hotel Reservation feature that is found on the "Services" tab, but I won't be staying in the Pines overnight. It will be a "day trip" thing. Overall, I have had nothing but positive experiences with Uber in all the years that I have been using the service. I am one satisfied customer.

(Which sometimes can be a complete freaking creepy weirdo) So I try my best not to use them unless I have to. Because you never know what kind of driver you're gonna get. To be honest I like a traditional taxi cab better than uber.

I have had the privilege of using their services twice and they are consistently better than good…read more I compared their pricing with the service and the type of Ride with six other companies. The pricing was close to two other companies, but the service and the clean luxurious car with a great human touch service could not be matched by any other company. It's now a preferred ride by my team and I would highly recommend them for your events and corporate/executives. They have license to get you dropped off at the tarmac I believe

Most of them did not have availability or just could not accommodate me on such short notice. Literally, within two hours of my request, I had a brand new, 2025, shiny black SUV at my door. The process was easy. I paid with Venmo. The Driver was polite, professional, and I was able to sit back and relax with my kids. The car was stocked with bottled water and candy. The ride was very pleasant and driver knew the quickest routes. I highly recommend Norcal luxury for any transportation needs you might have. I know that I will use them, and only them from now on

I had some problems initially contacting them through email, as for some reason my email was in their spam folder. I then tried to call the company, and we kept missing each other. Eventually we spoke and I was able to call a few references of past clients, since I didn't see any reviews online. On the day of my event, the guests got to my venue on time and Edgar was there waiting to pick us up at the end of the event. He got us all there and back safely, and I was so happy with the service he provided. Not to mention that the school busses are in great condition and also a more affordable option that some other shuttle services. I would definitely recommend this company if anyone is looking to charter a school bus for any event!

Edgar actually seemed to listen to us which made us feel more confident. Edgar arrived on time and was patient as we tried to get our guests on the bus to depart. The only problem was that Edgar didn't seem to have a strong grasp of which roads to take around San Francisco and the best routes to take to and from Tiburon. We probably could have helped by providing him with the most efficient routes. All in all, I would use them again.

this is a convenient location four taking the Amtrak train and also for picking up passengers. They…read morehave several spots for accessible parking near the terminal building and also ramps. They also have a race lift for helping passengers on wheelchairs to get on the train. There is a café on site that was opened when I was here on a Saturday around noon. They have several garbage cans and the station looked very clean. I also noticed that there is no easy way to go from one side of the station to the other, the only way to cross is by walking all the way to Fremont Boulevard and then crossing there. There are parking lots on both sides of the railroad tracks and they are separated by a fence so like I said, if you need to go to the other side, just walk all the way to Fremont Boulevard and then cross. You have to pay for parking and they have machines where you can pay by using a credit card. They also have a bicycle parking locker and you can pay at the storage container. also, I did not think it was very easy to tell whether trains were running on time or not. There was a sign that was getting updated, but I still found it somewhat confusing. I think it's probably easier just to check the Amtrak app.
