    This is meant for workers, not travelers. They make a lot of money from parking garages. That's why the trains are not actually in the airport terminals as in Chicago and Atlanta.

    Been noticing a lot of the electric bus on the G line are not in service lately and Metro instead operates a regular 40ft bus on the G line on select trips. Out of the 40 units they are less than half running in service today. Any idea why they are not running lately?

    Airport surcharge. That's what funded the SFO extension in the first place. The same system was used to fund the OAK airport extension and it has a similar surcharge over the regular BART ticket.

    What's up, man! That was an interesting replacement bus service. It was unfortunate that the train was suspended on that section. That service is pretty similar to the Miami Metrorail Shuttle. Also, this Monday, Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers are playing Stanley Cup Game 7. We will find out who is the champions of the playoff! Go Panthers! By the way, my new full ride bus ride was released and I think you will love it because it includes some beach scenes.

    The guitarist and singer at Embarcadero Station (41:15) are two of my favorite buskers in the City. They usually play (on sunnier days) on the Embarcadero just north of the Ferry Building, and they're often in the ped tunnel to Powell Street from 4th. If you see them, I hope you can stop and listen a minute, drop a dollar. Their playlist is fun, and the singer can do a good Dolores O'Riordan.

  • @HOUExplorer

    No problem. You could take a shuttle from Old Town to SD Airport. I wouldn't recommend parking in residential because there could be street cleaning or someone may report to have your car towed. The best option (I know is pricy but worth the peace/hassle is park at the airport or park at the airport shuttle service near the airport). Another option since you live in OC is take the NCTD COASTER Commuter Rail from Oceanside to Old Town. At Oceanside, there is free parking. However you have to contact NCTD/Metrolink for a permit so your car can stay several overnights. You can call NCTD at (760) 966-6500 ; Source: metrolinktrains.com/rider-info/general-info/stations/oceanside/#:~:text=Parking,Designated%20free%20parking.
