> ...every time I look at how to use Caltrain from SFO I give up and rent a car instead.

Why? Last I checked, it's

   * Depart SFO via BART
   * Get off BART at the first stop, Millbrae
   * Exit BART and enter Caltrain

Is there some complication I'm missing (other than the fact that neither BART nor Caltrain are 24/7 services)?

Depending on the year and day of the week it also involved a transfer at San Bruno.

Fortunately they've since reverted back to always running to Millbrae from the airport.

Oh, yeah. I had forgotten about the irregular Millbrae service. I always thought that to be quite strange.

The complication is not physically how to do it, but that the timing is not arranged to line up well, resulting in excessive waits.

[simoncion]

I see. Yeah, unless it's rush hour, SF Bay Area public transit is nearly always slower than hiring a private car. I'm glad that it exists, but do wish the towns in the area cared enough to fix that.
