Can someone with low vision manage in the Bay Area?

Yes, you can.

Most cities and towns in the SF Bay Area have good public transportation systems. And most of the systems are transferable to one another. Also if you're disabled you can also qualify for Paratransit where you can be picked up door to door.

California is good for something.. lots of folks fought hard to ensure everyone has the right to get where ever they need to go. People whine about public transportation often in the Bay Area, especially when it comes to MUNI, but at least it exists and it is especially friendly towards those who must rely on it to compliment their livelihood.

I don't think most bay area towns do well with transit. They are designed around commuters and not people who use it as their sole transit. They end early, run infrequently, or do not have service on the weekend. Stick to the larger cities, near college campuses and on the major bus routes to ensure you'll have consistent access.
