This is a great post. Very practical.

    > If you need to go to Brisbane from Powell, the 2 mile car ride is worth the effect.

I checked Google Maps. I don't see any BART stations that are only 2 miles (3 km) from downtown Brisbane (California). What I am missing? Or are you taking Caltrain, then getting an Uber from 4th and King Caltrain terminal to Powell?
