▲ 676 ▼ This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco area (lemmy.world) submitted 1 year ago by destructdisc@lemmy.world to c/fuckcars@lemmy.world 223 comments fedilink hide all child comments As it turns out it doesn't actually cost that much on regular transit, there's an AIRPORT SURCHARGE because it's an "airport train".
