The tracks and platforms for Caltrain and BART
are adjacent at Millbrae. This view is from the southbound
Caltrain platform, with a BART train waiting in the background
beyond the fare entry gates.
Fares from here to downtown San Francisco are the same -- four
dollars -- on either
system. If there's an express "Baby Bullet" running, the 16 minute
commuter journey will take less than half the time than one would
spend on BART. The
Caltrain station, however, is a good walk or change to Muni light
rail or bus away from the heart of the city, which BART serves
nicely. |
