My commuting friends, I come to glean the wealth of your experience!
Tomorrow, after work, I must make my way from Evelyn and Bernardo in Mountain View up to University and Shattuck in Berkeley.
Where should I avoid? Where should I try to get to?
Would I be best served to simply get to BART in Fremont? (Augh. Then I have to think about how and when to get back.)

IME, the bridges aren't really any faster (it's the getting to them that's a bitch, plus everyone and their dog lives in the East Bay and works on the peninsula).

I was just thinking that if I went that way, I'd avoid the 237/880 interchange.

You would, but the Dumbarton and San Mateo bridge approaches are just as bad, and the Dumbarton is a big chunk of what creates the Fremont nonsense. The 237/880 interchange was much improved even a couple of years ago as they were progressing on the ramp construction. Unless they've torn something else up there in the meantime, I still think it's the best of 3 evils for that time of day.

Cool. Thank you.
