I can't think of a better place to ask this question.<p>If one is visiting the bay area on startup business and has a few meetings with VCs on Sand Hill Road, how the heck do you get there and back?<p>I usually take Caltrain into the valley, but most of the VC offices are 3+ miles from the Palo Alto Station (~40 minute brisk walk each way). Is there a bus (or monorail) on the Stanford campus that simplifies this? Do you ask VCs for carpool suggestions? Does Uber work in the valley?<p>How do other founders handle transportation to VC offices?
Google maps can give you public transit directions including local bus services (Shuttle to Stanford, SLAC bus goes near SHR). This makes for a long, long journey compared to driving, but you can work/think instead of operating a vehicle.
