I had no idea what all this "AX" and "BX" Muni bus stuff was about until I moved to the Richmond…read more It turns out that these special buses are the closest thing to a BART train that the Richmond District ("RiDi") has. If you work downtown and live in the RiDi, you better get to know these buses, or you'll just be the chump on the regular 31 Balboa/38 Geary that gets the hour-long, reasonably stinky and ghetto tour of the city on the way to work. The 31 AX ain't great (I rarely get a seat in the morning, and some broads refuse to move to the back of the bus when it gets crowded), but it sure beats the regular 31 Balboa. FYI, the 31AX starts at the beach near the Safeway and the "Last local stop" is Balboa and Park Presidio. The next stop after *that* is Sansome & Montgomery. Not bad, right? Here's the weird thing though: I'm on the morning (and often evening) 31AX buses, with the same people, almost every day. All of us are going to our jobs in the FiDi or home to our bitchin' flats in the RiDi. I know half of their names since they all wear their hoity-toity company badges. Okay, you work for yahoo/stubhub/charles schwab! you're-so-fucking-cool-and-employed. We get it! But none of us ever talk to each other, even though we often see each other twice a day. It's a little awkward, like the elephant in the living room, or however that saying goes...

I now have to take public transportation from Outer Richmond (33rd Avenue) to Financial District…read more(Bush and Montgomery) Monday-Friday every morning because of my new job. I personally do not like the 38 Geary bus because it's not very clean, the trip takes about 40-45 minutes and seem to always be crowded. My prayers were answered when I found out from sfmuni.com that I can take 38AX to work every morning. The bus is filled with working professionals and not very crowded considering it's not a double bus. My morning commute from point A (33rd Ave) to B (Montgomery/Bush) only takes 20-25 minutes because after stopping at 25th Avenue, the bus cruises down Geary, turns left of Masonic and right on Bush and doesn't stop until my final destination. The 38AX is so quick and convenient that I wished it ran more often than just during rush hours. The best part about 38AX is that you can sit in the front seats and do not have to worry about giving up your seat to seniors and persons with disability. I would never take the regular 38 bus or 38L when I have a choice of taking the 38AX :-)! If you do end up standing up because of no empty seat, make sure to hold on tight because the bus speeds down Bush street and breaks abruptly at times.

4 stars for Outbound, 2 stars for Inbound. Why?…read more Outbound: 1) Plenty of Seats where I get on (Davis & Sansome, next to Embarcadero BART) 2) 25 minutes to 25th. Just a bit faster than the 38L 3) No stopping every 2 minutes between FiDi and Van Ness 4) Ride is like a roller coaster, but not jerky Inbound: 1) No seats when I get on at 25th 2) Herky Jerky Ride that makes me start feeling sick 3) Roasting heat which doesn't help the above 4) 30+ minutes to FiDi? That's slower than the regular 38!!

Better than BART if commuting to the City from Burlingame, IMO…read more Forget about driving to the Millbrae BART station and exposing yourself to a bajillion germs when commuting to the City!!!! Get your Green-ass a SamTrans Express pass and limit yourself to just a few dozen germs. So, I've done both the SamTrans Express and the BART boogie to get to work. No doubt in my mind, I would take SamTrans in a New York minute. (There's gotta be some kind of symbolism there, no?) Anyway, less people take the MX Express bus to the City than take BART from Millbrae which means less germ exposure. I like it. Another plus, you avoid that excruciating BART rail screeching whilst it traverses through the underground. ouch...

Driver was polite for 7 am on a weekend morning, but I found a few points lacking:…read more 1) Right off the bat, he started asking me for directions to a destination less than 2 miles away from where he'd spent the morning parked. (The reason I bother taking cabs in places I've never visited is that drivers presumably know the area, whereas I don't.) 1.5) He then pulled over to set up the GPS. (This should've happened after I stated the destination and before we commenced driving.) 2) The fare meter was still running while we were parked for him to fiddle with the GPS. (I shouldn't have to pay for a driver to a] do what they should've already done and / or b] figure out what they should already know.) I kept glancing around the interior for a cab ID #, driver info, etc. like other cab companies display, but everywhere blankness. #sketch I still tipped and thanked the man, of course. I also walked the way back on my own, trading time for simplicity.

However, a lot of riff raff and rough people because this is where Caltrain bumps off non-paying riders and unhygienic homeless people. Lots of strangers hanging out at all hours, but none of them particularly dangerous. No toilets, no restrooms, no water, only benches. Tolerable if you are waiting for a train. Now featuring a Lot Cop for reduced car break-ins. Original Greyhound Terminal now owned and operated by Samtrans. No Public Access and No Greyhound service, but is an interesting building to look at. Makes we wish we had regional bus service to the Coast, it would connect well with Caltrain. NOTE ! Greyhound does still serve Redwood City one block away at 850 Winslow Street .. outside an abandoned store. At 12 AM Only. With service like this you're better off taking Samtrans or Caltrain. I used the "Throne" branded "free" toilet paid by my tax money. The entry process with the QR code and SMS text message was interesting, but functional. Of writing, this is a brand new, unused unit with no graffiti, trash or discoloration. TP was fully stocked, all plumbing/electrical worked and the toilets/sink function as expected with clean water. Fully ADA Compliant with NO issues with the access ramp.

A few years ago, Matt from Go Go Transportation passed by a restaurant where my parents and I were…read moretrying to catch a cab. For less than a cab ride, he took us where we needed to go, and my parents ended up using him to get to the airport a few days later. Recently, when I was coming back from London and my mom was flying in to SF on the same day, my dad reminded us of Go Go and this time James picked my mom up and then returned a few hours later to pick me up. I used Go Go again this past weekend when flying back from Wisconsin. This time, Allen picked me up, and was extremely patient and courteous after my flight was delayed by almost three hours and my bags were delayed, getting me in past midnight. He even had a cold bottle of water waiting for me. I've not had much luck using the various van services when flying in to SFO and I always dread the thought of an hour long Bart ride after being on a plane. Go Go Transportation is professional and courteous. Their cars are clean and their communication is excellent. In addition, their prices are extremely reasonable and in my mind, totally worth it to have a confirmed safe, comfortable ride back home after a long day of flying. I highly recommend Go Go the next time you're looking for a ride to or from the airport.

Go Go Transportation (limousine service)…read more I usually do not go out of my way to take this type of transportation- but when the taxi hasn't arrived after 30 minutes and not one has come by for the last 15 and its the weekend at around 8 pm- well my chances were pretty slim to none.A limo sedan pulled over and inquired if I needed a ride- to whichI said, "YES!- I have been waiting for hours!" ok- i know- but it certainly felt like hours :-) I arrived at my friend's place an hour late- but little did I know that the service would continue on to the next day. I awoke to head back home when I realized my purse was missing. I called my friend's house to find out if I had left it behind- but having done a house search it was nowhere to be found. This left only the other possible place- the limo car. I still had the business card he had given me- and decided to give a call...but no answer. I left a message detailing my purse and went about my day canceling cards. I got a call later in the afternoon and Matt (the limo driver) asked me for a more accurate description- to which I noted other details. Finally he said assuredly, "Yes I do have it- I was just making sure. Where and When would you like me to bring it?" I found my purse back with its contents still intact- Matt (who is also the owner of the limo service) would not accept a reward- but I insisted upon his time and gas expenditure and finally managed him to accept! I was impressed by his humble and caring nature- I was glad to find my purse back but even happier to know that people like Matt- honest and dutiful, still exist today to make life a little better for the rest of us. PS- Limo car was spotless with a nice clean smell!

It's not like BART where you could add money. I took my bike on the train to work for the first time to participate with the annual "Bike To Work Day" presented by Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition. I think it would help you if you watch YouTube videos at Caltrain website to give you more details of the dos and don'ts. Of course I didn't, so there are rules that I learned during my ride. For example, make sure to get a yellow tag for your bike and mark your destination. For example, "San Mateo to Mountain View." This will help other riders placed their bikes with the same destination next to yours. Also, look for train cars with a bike icon, and know ahead which train # stops at your final destination. Overall, my experience was fantastic. Customer service on the phone and email was also excellent. Cheers!
