Does anyone live in the city and commute to South Bay via Caltrain for week? Thinking about how feasible this is to do 3-4 days a week. How crowded do the ‘baby bullets’ tend to be every morning?

I did the commute in the opposite direction for awhile pre-covid. The train is crowded but if you can adjust to take a slightly earlier or later train (not at peak rush hour) that helps a lot. How feasible it is depends on how much additional transit you need to do on either end of the Caltrain.

Echoing comment about feasibility depending on the non-train portion of the commute more than the train portion

Also the very worst part is the times where there’s a train breakdown, or worse, when someone decides to run a light and go in the middle of the tracks and get in an accident. The entire train system gets delayed, by hours, for hours.

Otherwise, it’s very comfortable and smooth and safe. Especially with the new trains

Train is crowded but you’ll get a seat.

Commute from SF to SB or Sunnyvale every week. Will you get a seat with a table where you can put your laptop and work? Maybe / maybe not

Considering a move from NYC to SF and my office will be in Palo Alto. Any advice on potential neighborhoods to live in without needing a car? Would ideally like to live in SF as I’m single and still looking to explore the city. Would the commute via public transit be terrible? Perspectives from former New Yorkers would be great too. Have been on the East Coast my whole life and don’t know too much about the Bay lol
