Which BART station has the quickest access to HWY 280?

Asked by St.George (5865points) June 19th, 2008

I need to get from my internship in downtown SF, leaving at 5:00 pm to my paid job in Palo Alto by 6pm. I want to park and BART in, so I can make a quick exit. Which station will have me on the freeway the fastest?

Glen Park is probably your best bet. It’s right next to 280 and it’s probably empty enough to make parking reasonable. (I think 24th and Mission would work too, but parking could be tricky.)

The Balboa Park station is also literally next to the on ramp (Geneva/Ocean exit) but parking might be an issue—street parking seems plentiful, though.

glen park I don’t think has a garage?

I would say Daly City Bart might be your way to go as they have a large parking structure. Down the line, colma also.

I ended up going with Daly City because it had the guaranteed parking and is a half-second away from 280. But for the record, it’s pretty much impossible to get from Montgomery Street to Downtown Palo Alto in an hour. Now I know, right?
