    The Bayshore Caltrain Station is a simple no-frills train station in an industrial area. There is a…read moresmall parking lot where you can park and ride for $5.50 all day. If parking is a bigger deal to you I've heard the 22nd Street Station (one stop from here closer to San Francisco) has more residential street parking. There's one lane for trains going to San Francisco and another going to San Jose. If you're taking the southbound train, you'll have to take the stairs or elevator and cross the bridge. Note that they do not have restrooms. Depending on which zone you're getting on and off will determine the price that you pay. Just remember that you need to pay before you board. You can scan your Clipper card at their kiosks or buy one on-site. Pro tip: if you have an iPhone you can set up a digital transit card and refill your transit card with your credit card. It's not located in the best part of town but as long as you stay alert of your surroundings and avoid being here at night as much as possible, you should be fine.

    This station has no bathrooms and is a very no-frills station, but there is a nice view of the…read moremountains and colorful houses in Visitacion Valley, and the tall footbridge looks quite picturesque in the right light. You can see the Cow Palace from this station. It is a bit of a walk to businesses, and there in an hour between stops , so it is not too convenient if you don't get there at the right time. It is a pretty quiet station.

I am not alone either, as others have praised it for its Brutalism. The style is not one I favor generally. The Embarcadero, which isn't even pure Brutalism, displays its flaws. It is deliberately off putting and inspiring of human distress. Or if not intentional then with reckless disregard of the needs of most persons for an assurance they are welcomed and valued. The architectural school, however, is enjoying a renaissance because of how it photographs. The massed concrete and simple forms look great and even profound rendered as social media squares the size of thumbnails. The discipline is evident. The John Wick like commitment to a vision more or less indifferent to emotional yearnings for a sense of community. If you have any interest, then, in seeing a magnificent example of the maligned movement, this is worth a stop. If you are a street photographer, it is a half hour well spent. But if you are just commuting back and forth, it is another station in a vast system. As they go, it performs its function. A work friend was shocked to learn people review anything other than restaurants on this platform. I regard it as a good use of Yelp to do so. Perhaps this will help out an aspiring architect or a photographer with this interest.

It just seemed like that, but at the same time, every thing on the bus was moving extra slow and trippy. This had nothing to do with how I was feeling. Finally I pulled the stop cord, thinking we'd stop by my house. NO. The stop he was going for was mega far from where I thought it would be, and it ended up that the stop I thought I was going to use was on the other side of the street, which I found out when I walked far up a hill and saw the stop- I've never seen that stop before. I'm still learning the routes. Anyways, I hope I get to ride with this guy again, it was a real carnival style thrill. Best bus ride so far.

    I won't go into the long, complicated history of Muni's 15 bus, mostly because I don't remember…read more But back in the day, there was an easy way to remember which Muni bus lines went through Chinatown: The multiples of 15. So the 15, the 30, and the 45 all went through Chinatown. When the T-Third Street came into existence in 2007, I believe they got rid of the 15--or was it the 10-Townsend?--because it duplicated much of the T-Third's route. But that's not really true, since the T-Third wouldn't extend all the way to Chinatown until January 2023, but there was duplication on 3rd Street. Wait, wait, wait! I said I wouldn't go into that history. The 15-Bayview Hunters Point Express has a long, complicated name, but it serves a very important purpose: namely, efficiently transporting passengers from Bayview to the Financial District, and vice versa. Yes, its service is redundant, as most of its line shares the T's line on 3rd Street, but the T-Third runs at grade, meaning that it has to deal with all the same cross streets and signals as regular cars and buses do, at least along 3rd Street, so the 15 is often faster than the T, at least for short trips on 3rd Street. I often use the 15 and T interchangeably. If I'm on 3rd Street and I need to go north or south, I pull up NextBus and find out which one is coming first. I hop on that one. The 15 is also useful for when they're doing service work on the T or if there's any kind of track issue that backs trains up along the line. The 15's bus stops are generally past the street of its intersections, which is mainly true of the T-Third's stations, so it's easy enough to wait for either train or bus right at the corner. You'll definitely be able to see the train long enough ahead of time to cross the street to the station entrance.

    Waymo Depot - Climate control that is accessible to the back seat passengers

    2.4 miBayview-Hunters Point

    Founded by Google as an internal self-driving project in 2009, Waymo ("a new way forward in…read moremobility") was spun off as an independent subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. in 2016. It began public tests in 2017 in the Phoenix Area, removing safety drivers in 2020. In November 2024, it launched commercial driverless operations in the DTLA and Santa Monica areas with general public availability. I finally had a chance to use it with my brother, during a DTLA stay in late August of '26. It was a lot of fun. We were staying at the LA Athletic Club, so ended up using the nearby Metro station to go to various places around LA. So on this Saturday, we found ourselves outside of Wi Spa at the eastern outskirts of K-Town, needing to get back to the hotel. We had taken the train/walked here and could have easily done it again, but instead took Waymo. I had prepared the previous day by downloading the app (it looks and behaves similar to Uber). It required the customary phone number validation by text, and defaulted to Apple Pay (though one can also add other credit cards). Then it was a simple matter of hailing a ride, just like Uber/Lyft. There is no opportunity to choose the type of car...everything is meant for up to 4 people. It was accurate in stating that a car would be here in under 5 minutes, and showed where the car would stop. Sure enough, it slowly came around the corner, and I have to admit I was super excited that a robot car was coming to pick us up, all for just $19.33. The app had asked if I wanted to partake in a trial where the car doors automatically when the phone's bluetooth is close...since I was busy taking video on my phone, I said 'Sure'. It didn't work...so I had to fumble to find the app, and press the 'unlock' button. My brother sat in the passenger seat, and I sat in the back. We had no luggage so don't know how the trunk process works. Currently, up to four passengers (3 in back, 1 in front) can be taken (later learned that the car will stop if it detects more than 4 people), where the empty driver's seat is not allowed to be used. I continued to take video as the car pulled out, but then the car stopped with a piercing ring, until I clicked my seatbelt. The car was a fully electric, Jaguar I-PACE HSE SUV (AI states that the base is a 75k car, with another 80k in add-ons....pretty sure Waymo is losing money hand over fist during this ramp up period). The drive itself was very similar to a good Uber driver, not going particularly slow as I had feared. I was actually hoping for some unusual events (e.g. getting cut off or side swiped, pedestrians in the wrong place, or hearing emergency sirens) to see how Waymo would react, but it was a pretty even keel ride. The app can be used to control the climate and radio stations, and the two displays clearly indicate where you are and how close you are to your destination. It did warn us to listen for a beep if a bicyclist or another car was getting close as we exited. There was no opportunity to tell it to drop us off at our preferred entrance, and it definitely did double park while letting us off. Of course, we had to see it off, which it did after a few moments. There was no survey to submit, or any opportunity to give a tip. It very much reminded me of my first time taking an Uber, afterwards thinking 'This is going to change a lot of things'. This was our one good opportunity to use Waymo during our stay, as its coverage area did not include Boyle Heights. It was kinda cool to see a fleet of them come to the Expo Park area right after the LAFC match, picking up gamegoers. Later that night, we could have taken it back to our hotel from K-Town late Saturday (when the trains stopped running), but the price was quite a bit higher than a Lyft...so chose the latter instead. Also I noted that the cars are not yet allowed to go on the highway, so any longer trip from someplace like Santa Monica to DTLA will definitely take longer (at least when the I-10 isn't backed up). Recently (August 2026), California approved Waymo's expansion plans, making it available across 18 state counties. Will definitely use it again whenever we need a rideshare and prices are comparable.

    I was an early adopter of Waymo in LA and have always loved it. I've ridden Waymo hundreds of times…read moreover the past 2 years and was such a fan until recently. I still prefer it to Uber/Lyft as my neurodiversities love having driverless options to get places. I love having a clean, reliable ride where I am alone and control the music & windows & can just feel relaxed. Waymos are my mode of transportation a lot around the city and as a single girl, I feel safe. However, I've seen a pretty significant degrade in Waymo technology here in LA the past few months. To highlight some big issues ~Cars get stuck in our depot and what should be a 5 minute wait turns into 55 as they just keep rotating you to blocked cars in their storage lot. I actually missed an event last night waiting for a Waymo that never came, talking to 3 support people and a Waymo never arriving :(. Cars get stuck in many places besides just their storage area, but it's particularly frustrating because Support just says sorry and you're supposed to wait. ~Along with the above, the cars have some really significant traffic issues. I've been stopped in the middle of incredibly busy streets in rush hour on MANY different rides in MANY locations & had to call for Support to get the car moving while cars behind honk in frustration & it's mad embarrassing. I've seen the same happen to many others and I feel sad for them when I zoom by! ~Since the accident Waymo had hitting the child in Santa Monica, the cars are incredibly scared to go by people and objects. It used to pretty intelligently maneuver around things but it's overly cautiously to the point of stopping and being creepy. ~And worst of all, lately, Support has been really unhelpful, less responsive, very slow in responding and not fixing problems when Waymo has issues. It's very bizzare and frustrating. I'm worried we may have hit a wall with Waymo where the Support degrades as more issues start arising. I was the biggest advocate for Waymo and still prefer taking it but they need to get these major issues under control. Rants over, Waymo I love you, please fix yourself!
