BAY AREA HEAVY RAIL
Caltrain at Millbrae

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.
