I do this commute now. I usually look at our flights, see the 48 cat-ranchers listed that were hired before I was born, sigh, and take Alaska or Virgin. Lot of commuters, but also lots of flights. Oakland with a BART transfer as a backup.

See you at the gate. Lots of people spook each-other off of flights and some united flights leave with seats while comuters are waiting for Virgin.
I was thinking of starting a "group me" messenger client group for the large number of us. Something to check on the way to the airport. Something better than sending a blast text to someone whose schedule you don't really know.
thoughts?

for the bart from Oak to SFO is a piece of cake
1) hop on the transfer from OAK to coliseum station. Its free about 5 min ride.
2) buy a card at coliseum station to SFO You can use debit/credit to buy ticket. It is about 10 dollars one way.
3) hop on any train heading toward DALY CITY (Green or Blue Line)
4) Transfer to the "T" line "yellow" at any station once across the bay. Balboa park is the last station to transfer.
5)Give it about an hour for full ride.
If during morning it will be full until Powell station. Then it thins out.
