	It was one person, and that was definitely a rare occurrence.
I thought that folks were referring to the 1998 meltdown.

	This is true to a certain extent, although muni metro is a
more convenient transfer than anything else.  You just get off at
embarcadero, and the muni metro fare gates are just opposite the BART
fare gates.

	I'm 100% car-free (never even learned *how* to drive) and this
idea intrigues me.  What locations were you interested in?
