    If you don't feel safe walking to your car, you can ask an attendant to get an officer to walk with you

    Be careful where you sit, especially on the Richmond/SF side, because pigeons can drop on your head (between the escalator and elevator)!!

    There's always parking in the parking garage, and it keeps your car cool when it's hot

    Parking is NOW $2. Bring change in case the change machine is broken. The parking machine will not accept any bill higher than $5 bill.

    Don't space out like I did (reading) and miss your Bart connection. Otherwise, you'll be forced to listen to some guy singing 'heart of gold' by Neil young....

    Don't miss your bus! If you do, it will take 90 minutes to get back to millbrae!

    Platforms are on opposite sides so make sure you come up the right one.

    Not the cleanest station but parking is free, so it's a good compromise!

    No upward escalator for the Fremont side. Use the stairs or escalator.

    The train out to SF is standing room only as early as 7:45 sometimes. Plan accordingly.
