How does that work for you?

I love Amtrak in Southern California but have been uncomfortable on the buses when forced to take them due to repairs on the Amtrak line. I've been thinking about taking the train to SF. Please advise if you can.

Same here. Sold mine and it's fine. Most of what I do is in-town as it is. pinto Dec 2011 #4

Coast Starlight runs LA -> Oakland. From there you can catch a local train across the bay to SF. pinto Dec 2011 #6

Good. I may just try it. Thanks. JDPriestly Dec 2011 #7

Like Manhattan, a car in SF is an absolute luxury, not an option for most. NYC_SKP Dec 2011 #12

Quite amusing to see a 3 page FAQ on that site about their double-decker bus nxylas Dec 2011 #8

LOL. Yeah, it was a big deal when they first introduced it. pinto Dec 2011 #9

Have you considered a bike, understanding you stated medical conditions so perhaps not an option Kennah Dec 2011 #10

SLO's becoming more and more bike friendly, supportive. Really good to see. pinto Dec 2011 #11
