I budget 30 minutes and get there in 20. Agree with Andrea, the 580 portion is typically less than 15 minutes, usually 10. Really, that is not the problem because you never really merge into traffic because you get on then right off again. You can use other roads but Pleasanton city streets can take forever with their lights. - the major factor is how far you are from 580. - Wed May 21 2008, 15:42
From South Livermore it takes me 20 minutes to BART door-to-door. About 10 minutes to get to 580 and 10 minutes down the highway. Honestly, each segment is mostly constrained by traffic lights, stop signs, etc. and not so much by traffic (which I have found to be "over reported"). - Wed May 21 2008, 15:38
