Oh Bay Area Transit system...

It's nice that there's so many busses and ways to get around (seriously, a bus that runs from Palo Alto to San Jose every 15 minutes, 24/7? So awesome, even if it takes an hour). Sure beats River Road T2 WMATA

Another option might be BART Plus - a dumb card, but it's been around for ages. They're valid on BART and most of the regional agencies, but not AC Transit, who withdrew around 2001, nor CalTrain. They're valid for half a month, 1-15th and 15th-end, so you do want to be aware of when you pick one up. You can buy them in various values, starting at about $33, where the additional value goes to BART - everything else is unlimited. In your case, I suppose it'd depend on whether you use BART enough to make it worthwhile, but if so, the convenience is undeniable - just flash it at any Muni, VTA, SamTrans, etc driver, and you're good to go. (Muni trams, though, you need to display it to the gate agent and get manually buzzed through)

:( Nah, being primarily in the Palo Alto area, I don't use the Bart often enough to spend $33 in half a month's time.
