And what makes it worse is that particular part of SV is a public transit black hole. When I worked at Apple, they did a great job of providing their own commute-time transit options. However, if you needed to travel to or from the Apple campus in the middle of the day, you had to either drive to work that day or be willing to spend a lot of time on a bus, particularly if you're going somewhere on the peninsula. On the one or two occasions I fell ill enough to want to go home in the middle of the day, I really should have called a cab to take me to the Caltrain station instead of taking a bus that seemed to take a tour through every neighborhood.
