Any idea on how long it takes to drive from SJC to SFO during Monday mornings? One hour? Two hours? Or should I just forget about it? I've never gotten stuck in Bay Area traffic, but I've heard horror stories.
How about driving times from SJC-SFO during morning and afternoon rush hours?
Also, any suggestions for alternative methods to get from SJO to SFO? I see CalTrain takes about 1.5 hours from San Jose to South SF.
Hopefully I'll get some idea for the traffic down there. Thanks!
I will take CalTrain, way less frustration and some work can be done on the train.
However, having said that, it depends on how important a car factors into your plans. I will suggest a North bound 101-switch to 85-North 280-SFO route to avoid the bottleneck around Palo Alto and Redwood Shores...
