So, theres basicaly 2 ways of public transport from Berkeley to SF.
one, the bart (its the bar area rapid transit i think), takes 10-15 mins to walk to the station, but then it takes bout half an hour to 45 mins, n u have a few choices of stops.
or a free bus. Bus F. It leaves from in front of Neds bookstore, if ur a UCB student, just show ur small AC Transit sticker on ur Cal ID (yes thats wat the stickers for) and u get to ride for free.
So, I took the bus today, went to SF to roam. It took bout 1 hour to get to the Transbay stop in SF (a big bus station, u can catch greyhound buses there to LA n other far away places)
Anyway, I walked from there to fishermans wharf, bout 30 mins walk. walk along The Embarcadero I think its called, then u pass all the piers and sea the bay the whole walk there, almost like walkin next to a lake or beach.
Anyway, basically if u go to fishermans wharf on a weekend, u should either expect to wait or to walk. cuz if u dont wanna do the 30 min walk, u can wait for the bus, but its normally full on the weekends and hard to get on.
So, i personally think walkin (good exercise) is the better option. (Warning, it might take longer, i walk fast) but go with friends and talk and time will fly.
Anyway, I took the same bus back, but while I was waiting for it at the station, a homeless man offered to sell me some coke or acid. So, yeah thats actually wat SF is like, well at night at least.
Homeless ppl wandering around, a lot of areas smell of pee, so be careful altho most of them are not at all harmless, their actually very nice if u give them money, which is all they want from u anyway.
