I am thinking about the train too, but I don't live close to any train stations and I know nothing about commuting by caltrains..... If I have to drive or take muni in order to take the train, I guess it's not worth the time?

the train = less money on the commute, less wear and tear on the car, much less stress (all you do is sit on the train and read, people watch, sleep, etc).

13-14 miles each way from San Leandro to Uptown Oakland. Sitting in traffic for 30 minutes for an otherwise 15-17 minute drive on a normal day with traffic flowing at normal speeds. So, what's better? 580 in the morning or 880 north in the morning between 8-8:30AM?
