BART: Fremont to Walnut Creek, how long does it usually take?

For those of you that take bart regularly? Are there ever delays? What's the run time from Fremont to Walnut Creek? I interviewed for a new job in downtown WC, but the parking is $10 a day if I park in their structure, which is just ridiculous... I'm thinking about the BART option, or if worst comes to worst, park at WC bart (free) and ride my skateboard to my job... its only a few blocks away.

There is a 15 min delay for each train. (depending on the day)

You could find more info here.

It's about 4.65 one way.

The ride is about an hour long because you have to transfer on 12th st.

It usually takes me about an hour from UC to WC/Pleasant Hill Station. My office is too far from bart now though, so I usually drive in. The bus schedules out here are pretty limited.

If I get this job, maybe it means you'll be seeing more of ME! WUHAHAHHA!


Don't fear us Zoeb, we love you... We just take advantage of your gulliblness (is that even a word? Probably not). But yeah, you're a cool cat in my book, don't think I dont like your or something with my sarcastic comments, its all in fun. Next time I see you, I'll smack that pakistani butt of yours. lol

I dont know where that came from.

I agree, but WC->Fremont at 5 is a biotch and a half.

Where in WC is tthe office Daniel? There are several parking structures that are free downtown. If you tell us the street of the office we can probably point you to the nearest free lot and you can just walk to your office.
