Downtown to SFO Sunday AM, help
I was planning to take the bart to catch my 7:00am flight but realized that bart is only a part-time system which doesn't run until 8:30am Sunday. How crazy is that!
what are my options for going from the Palace hotel to SFO around 5:30-6am on a Sunday?

I looked at the SAMTRANS site, but their first bus into SFO doesn't get there until 0635 on Sunday, so that won't work.

I think you're pretty much stuck with one of the shuttle services that early.
BART's not alone with late starts on Sunday. The Tube in London opens late on Sunday, as I've had to use the Airbus there to get to Heathrow on Sunday mornings. Likewise for Metro in DC, which starts up at 0700 on Sundays.

Their residents don't want to foot the tax bill and subsidies to pay for hours that benefits mostly visitors.
