Reasons to take the train to work:

1. It’s cheaper than driving.
2. It forces you to get to work and home at about the same time every day.
3. It’s environmentally friendly.
4. Twice a day, you can slip off into lala-land and pretend you’re touring Europe.
5. You can do real work while the train conductor drives for you.
6. You only have to get gas once every few weeks.
7. You meet nice and friendly people on the bus, train, and shuttle.
8. Your Caltrain monthly pass is also good for getting to bars nearby on weekdays, and in San Francisco on weekends.
9. You don’t have to circle the (full) parking lot looking for a spot.

Ahhhh yes.

Is it just me, or does Caltrain smell faintly of Earl Grey tea?

It’s stronger in some cars than others, but it’s definitely there. I’m thinking it might be their air freshener that smells that way. I’m not sure. I don’t see too many people with tea, so I’m not sure if it could be because of many people having tea on the train.

It’s perplexing.
