That's not practical. The train ride is over 1:30 plus transit time and cost to/from the train stations on both end, which is not insubstantial on the SMF end and while only a couple of miles on the Berkeley end, still requires a slow bus ride or a $$ Uber ride.

Good luck. I think you're the envy of many of us here.
BART has a limited discount for a $45 pass ($48 worth of rides, or something like that).

The OP isn't an envy of me I was one of the "you'll be flying WN" crowd!
