Can someone tell me a way to get from Oakland to the Stanford campus that's got fewer steps than AC Transit -> BART -> Muni -> CalTrain -> shuttle?

AC Transit, Bart, Dumbarton Express, shuttle. (You can remove the "Bart" step if you want fewer steps, but it'll probably take longer). Also, 511.org

Or actually, I work in San Mateo, and I could potentially give you a ride to the Caltrain station there (from which it's a short ride to Stanford), have you any interest. I usually leave for work between 10:30-noon, so it's not like you would be waiting around forever before your appointment.

That would be good, actually, if it's toward the noon end of that range. Right now it looks like I'd be leaving the house around 11:30 to catch BART to either Caltrain or the Dumbarton Express.

Sure, I'm flexible. As long as it's before July 12, that is (since that's when I go on vacation). Let me know what day, or email me if you'd rather (though that isn't as fun as making plans in LJ comments :-)

Tuesday, 'twould be. About how long does the drive take? I'd have to be at the San Mateo station by 1.

Should be about 40 minutes from your place to the Caltrain station (it would be the Hillsdale station (the closest one to where I'm going) if you need to check the schedule). So I could pick you up around noon, or 12:15, or 12:20, depending how much extra time you want to leave; there usually isn't much traffic at that time, but it couldn't hurt. Anytime's fine with me (no one really cares when I come in :-)
