There are three ways to get across the Bay.

Service	Cost	Notes
AC Transit Transbay Service	$4.20/one-way or $151.20/month	fastest option if you live near a bus stop; drops off at Transbay Terminal, then connect to office via bike share at station. 36 rides or 18 commute round-trips makes the monthly pass worthwhile
Bikes on BART	varies	bikes allowed all hours, but crowded during peak hours; swinging through Oakland stations makes this slower than AC Transit Transbay Service
MacArthur Bike Shuttle	$1	cheapest option, if full take BART
SF Bay Ferry	$4.75 on ClipperCard	connects Jack London Square and SF Ferry Building; can take bike onboard

If you connect by bicycle, you have these options to avoid having to take the bike onto the train:

Before writing any in-house code, it is wise to check if there already exists a published library for the task at hand. If you're interacting with a service, chances are the developers of the service had taken time to develop official libraries for the more popular programming languages. If it's a task that you suspect is a solved problem, chances are someone has taken the initiative to open source their solution.

Here are the resources to discover libraries and tools for your programming task.

Python

• Search on PyPi – the Python Package Index
• GitHub Code Search
• BitBucket Explorer
• Command Line pip search + grep, e.g.
