Commute time during rush hour from Redwood Shores to downtown SF (Redwood City: earthquake, to live in)

[Lara Deen]

How long will it take me to commute in the morning and evening rush hour to and from downtown SF if I live in Redwood Shores?

I used to do the opposite commute from Noe Valley to Redwood shores and it took me generally about 45 min. during peak rush hour (it would take 30 min w/o traffic). I would guess it will be longer going the other way around. You should check out public transit options to save a lot of headache and parking expense, which is considerable in downtown SF unless your employer pays for it.

Use these to figure out your public transit commute. Redwood City has a baby bullet station but San Carlos will probably be closer to RW Shores.

30ish minutes without traffic, probably add 15 minutes to that just for getting in/out of the city during rush hour.

And if there's even just one minor accident along your route on 101, you can add at least another 15 - 30 minutes to your commute time.

But having said that, if you don't want to live in SF, Redwood Shores is a great location by just about any measure (except likely earthquake damage).
