<p>Simple question. How long does it take to drive from one to the other under reasonable conditions? Thanks</p>
<p>With no traffic and going 75mph, it takes about an hour, but there's usually some traffic on the way.</p>
<p>is there a train that goes between the two?</p>
<p>It takes almost two hours by train. You have to take the Stanford Marguerite shuttle to the Palo Alto station, take Caltrain to the Millbrae station, then take BART (3 trains: Dublin/Pleasanton, then Pittsburgh/Bay Point, then Richmond) to the Berkeley station. A royal pain in the @$$.</p>
<p>Yeah by car it's about an hour, but there's usually traffic on the bridge...</p>
<p>imblue, how much does all that cost?</p>
<p>in total, around $8</p>
<p>marguerite = free
caltrain from zone C to B=$3.75
bart from millbrae to downtown berkeley = $4.25 i think ..may be less</p>
<p>caltrain takes around 30-35 minutes ON the train, but the waiting time (since a train only comes in intervals), as well as the waiting time in millbrae for the bart, makes it much longer.</p>
<p>the bart from millbrae to downtown berkeley takes around 40-45 minutes. if you're lucky/well-planned, you can make the trip to berk in 2 bart transfers...listening all the while you're sleeping...that's the way to do it!</p>
<p>you can check it all out online too...</p>

<p>From personal experience, 1 hour under VERY good conditions, 2 worse; median is around 1.5. This is from San Francisco -> Bay Bridge-> Berkeley, but I've heard that it's the same from Palo Alto -> San Mateo Bridge -> Berkeley. BART is faster from San Francisco.</p>
<p>If you are doing round-trips, double the hours.</p>
<p>Close enough to raid each other for an axe</p>
<p>Late at night 50 minutes by car.</p>
<p>This decade, the Axe stays in Berkeley, where it belongs!</p>
