    If it's on time, it's good. And if you get awesome conductors. Some can be really mean. ;_;

    If going north, walk to the northern end of the platform towards the handicap area. This is where the bombardier train usually is. Which has a table. Great for a snack and beer!

    If you have a monthly Clipper Card, remember you have to tag on and tag off the first day of the month you take the train. Some conductors will write you a citation.

    The tunnels connecting the north and south lines are should be labeled urinals — such vulgar conditions.

    Remember it's proof of payment. So have a ticket. We all judge you when the conductor catches you.

    It's right next to all the food and retail downtown.

    I come here at 8:30ish and there is always a strong smell of BBQ. It really doesn't help the fact that I didn't eat breakfast

    Avoid the 533 bullet put of SF unless crowds are ok to you...

    Don't take the elevators. They smell like someone has died in there.

    Although there are signs everywhere that say "NO SMOKING," people do it anyway, which is stupid. Stand more north on the platform if you're sensitive to smoke. They need to enforce the rules more.
