It's about 45 minutes door-to-door using public transit. I think on a light traffic day I'd be lucky to do the drive in an hour and fifteen minutes; on Friday's I get to wave at stand-still traffic as I continue on to my destination. Being south of the Bay Bridge in the East Bay makes for a quick trip into SF. Were I coming from Richmond or Walnut Creek, I'd be looking at probably 85 minute door-to-door but the drive would have the potential of being much worse. The tunnel out to Walnut Creek is atrocious in the evenings and there are so many stops through Berkeley that the Richmond bound trains take forever.
So in many respects, I'm in the perfect location for where I'm going to work (10 minutes drive to the BART station on one end and 8 minute walk to work on the other end).
