I ride it from Pittsburg/Baypoint. That is 2 stations before Concord. It's great, no traffic. Just sit there and relax to and from work. If you are living in housing in Concord you will get on at North Concord/Martinez. The closest you will get to Alameda is either the 12th street station or Lake Merritt. There is a shuttle to take you to CG Island. If that is where you are going or if you are going to the MLC at the federal building you get off at 12th street and walk across the street.
So, If i am going to Alameda I get off at Lake Merrit? I definitley want to ride the train. My truck is already sucking down in NC I can only imagine the wear and tear of traffic. Thanks for the help.
