This is going to be fun to watch! 1. Expensive tunnel but a good idea 2. Isn't there a built but abandoned bart tunnel under the sfo circular garage? 3. Go easy on Quentin, he pulled off a miracle Keep up the hard work, Rick Hello,

Really interesting idea. This is going to be fun to watch!

1. Expensive tunnel but a good idea
2. Isn’t there a built but abandoned bart tunnel under the sfo circular garage?
3. Go easy on Quentin, he pulled off a miracle

Keep up the hard work,

Rick

I hadn't considered those particular issues from where I sit. In contrast, from Oakland, it's a LOT easier than it used to be to get to SFO. It takes exactly one step. Get on BART, and 52 minutes later you're at the airport. Sure, it takes a while, but it's ridiculously convenient. (In fact, now it's easier to get to SFO from downtown Oakland than it is to get to OAK!) Previous alternatives were these: (AC transit to Transbay Terminal OR BART to Daly City or Colma) AND transfer to SamTrans - or - having to get someone to drive all the way to SFO and back - or - (for people with cars) insane parking fees at SFO So it depends on where you're coming from.... Interesting. I hadn’t considered those particular issues from where I sit.
