This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco area (lemmy.world)

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.

You drive 70mph to work? Your home and work are both right off a highway? Then car seems efficient as heck, I would drive too.

That map is just so weird. There is no road next to the highway? Like, why does that transit loop exist if there's nothing in the middle of that circle, or around the outside of it?

    Correct, there’s no side road, sidewalk, bike path, or shoulder on the highway. It’s just a two-lane highway that cuts through an otherwise barren area. There’s a gas station near me, and a gas station near my work. Aside from that, there’s just a few warehouses. That openness also means there’s zero shade if I wanted to ride my bike.
