<p>I'm living in an apartment out in Emeryville (about 20-25 min drive to Berkeley). I'm thinking of driving there. Are the Underhill and Ellsworth parking structures typically really crowded? I know a permit's $355 per semester but I'm willing to pay the price.
I'd take AC Transit if it was faster (I have to first take local transit to the stop for the F line); it's about 40-50 minutes by bus including transfers/waiting. Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>just wondering are you from Socal of Norcal. I am from socal, and I don't know as to whether i should bring my car up there.</p>
<p>I think you should be fine finding spots in those structures. Yea they are rather packed, but there's usually at least a few open spots, at least from what I've seen during the day. </p>
<p>That's quite a steep price to pay though, not to mention how much you have to pay for apartment parking. But I suppose it's a lot more convenient than AC Transit.</p>
<p>And why does where you come from affect your decision to bring a car to Berkeley? Because you don't wanna drive six hours to bring it up?</p>
<p>well if u are a freshmen living near campus then dont bring a car.. i think that the parking structures are such a rip off! but i mean if u live far like the person who started this thread then yah... how come u decided to live in emeryville.... i dont think its that far from berk to emeryville... its only like 10 min away but i guess plus the traffic and stuff esp on university ave....</p>
<p>unknown, I'm from SoCal and yes I did drive six hours to bring the car up here. XD Rather long route but cheaper than paying someone to do it. You get to see the nice scenery <em>cough</em> desert <em>cough</em>. If you're living in dorms definitely don't bring one, you can just walk around.
Nah, I've tried the F bus from emeryville to berk and it's a good 20 minutes with various stops etc.
Too bad the car's already here. I decided to live in emeryville for necessary reasons. ;)</p>
