I am king of the commute.
Thanks to Caltrain’s new Baby Bullet trains, if I miss my first
train up to the City in the morning, I can hop on the second train (20
minutes later), switch trains at Millbrae, and wait for the
Bullet which goes around train #2 at Bayshore, and shaves 10
minutes off my commute. I have a few similar tricks in the
evening, one where i can even take an express train past my
burlingame stop to san mateo, switch trains then one minute later take
a train back up to burlingame, which would get me in 3 minutes before
my usual train (which i’d take at 5:47 from the City.)
Confusing? Maybe for the commute novice, but you have to
know your options sometimes!
