Moving to Berkeley, Hints?

Tony> I live in Alameda, which is 7.5 mi from my office in Berkeley.  In

Tony> number.

I know something about buses in the area, and 40 min from Alameda to
Berkeley seems unrealistic.  Is your office on the US campus?  Which
line, 51?

The transbay express is nice - now that traffic dropped after the Crash of
2000.  Before that it was torture.

But you definitely have a great deal as far as the rent goes ...
