Possibly moving to Millsmont area and looking at public transportation alternatives to 580. For example, NX3 to/from San Francisco, or 58L to/from downtown Oakland, and connecting to some other local line in the Eastmont transit center.

I'm used to having my laptop and iPhone on Bart, but am I asking for trouble in those areas? Should I stick to driving?

It is fine on the bus/train but how is the walk from the transit stop to your house. That is where things can be iffy on the wrong block.

I catch the NL and 58l all the time, but I don't catch them at Eastmont. I would catch it at Seminary and MacArthur or Camden and Seminary, depending on the bus. If you live in Millsmont, those two stops (or the 45 toward BART the on Hillmont or near Mills College are the stops most often used by Millsmonters. I only use Eastmont if I must. Frankly I don't feel super safe just walking and waiting around there, unfortunately. And I use my phone on the bus all the time, as do many. Some use their laptops too, but especially on the transfer lines. The usual rules apply. Keep your belongings close to you, and periodically pay attention to your surroundings. I prefer to keep my phone in my bag when possible simply to not accidentally leave it on the bus, but sometimes I watch Netflix, so it's out the whole ride.

Thank you. This is what I mostly care about, I'd like to get some work done on the long commute. When you say transfer line, are you referring to the NL/58L long rides to/from downtown or on the 45?

Typo, sorry. I meant to type "transbay" line, like the NL or any of the letter lines.
