As it turns out it doesn’t actually cost that much on regular transit, there’s an AIRPORT SURCHARGE because it’s an “airport train”.
No wonder Americans don’t use public transit, even when the system exists it’s ridiculously difficult and expensive to use.
Yeah, I just plugged the assumed route (Oakland Airport to Embarcadero) into Lyft. $35 (plus tip) and 25 minutes at 7am on a Sunday. I’m sure during a weekday it’d take more than twice as long, and probably cost a lot more.
