How much am I willing to sacrifice in order to take transit to work instead of driving? Not this much, I guess. To get to work by 9:30, I’d have to catch the 7:22 Caltrain northbound from Palo Alto, and connect to the 8:18 BART Richmond train, arriving at North Berkeley at 9:15. Then it’s a mile and a bit walk to the office. No, the walk is not a big deal, but the trip takes more than twice as long by train as it does in the car. I can leave home at 8:45 and drive to the office in 35-40 minutes, with average traffic.

It’s unfortunate, because the company will apparently subsidize the BART portion. I guess I’m more interested in the extra hour of sleep than saving the planet.
