Parking at BART stations is problematic. So many commuters filled
up the lots so early in the day that stations have set aside area
that can't be used for parking until after 10am, but these fill
up very quickly too.
The drive to the Oakland ball park isn't that cheap and could be
unreliable; a jam on the Bay Bridge or San Mateo Bridge could
hold you up for hours.
You can either go to the airport to catch BART, or depending on
your location go to Millbrae and catch BART, or catch a SamTrans
No 5 bus on El Camino Real and get off at Millbrae or Daly City
Bart station.
