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?

Amtrak, they run both a bus and a train service from Oakland to San Jose, I believe the station is close to Stanford. It's about $15 one way, though.

you can take BART to Milbrae and get on CalTrain there. That cuts out one step.

This doesn't really help, but you can leave out the Muni stage... The one time I took CalTrain, I transferred directly from BART at Millbrae (I'm almost positive it was Millbrae; I know Millbrae has platforms for both, right next to each other.)

or, better yet, good for the whole Bay Area mass transit:]

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

BART to the Dumbarton Express, which leaves from Union City.

Walk to SF Bay -> swim across Bay -> walk to Stanford campus.

It has fewer steps, but may take longer.
