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.)

The collapse is only relevant if coming from SF or from the north. And yes, the maze is confusing. There's no Shattuck exit anywhere, by the way, that I know of.

I eventually figured that out. (:
I don't remember where I got off, or how I finally found University, but it was an experience I do not plan to duplicate tonight.

There is, however, a University exit from 580. :)

So maybe I should just take 880 to 580 to University?

Well, it's an option. Although the 880-980-24-580 route that you probably got online is shorter than plain old 880-580, believe it or not. The MLK exit frmo 24 dumps you out a couple miles south of University and Shattuck, the University exit from 580 dumps you out a couple miles west of University and Shattuck. Six of one.

Cool. Thank you for your advice.

No problem.
