Newbie commuter from San Ramon to SF (Dublin, Canyon Lake: where to buy, cost)

[hawaiidude]

I will be working in Downtown SF in Market Street, and I will be commuting from Canyon Lakes area in San Ramon. I will be driving to the Dublin BART station every workday. Any tips (i.e., where to buy passes, montly/daily parking/BART, etc) will be greatly appreciated.

There are no passes on BART (multiple rides at a reduced rate) and there is no reduced rate for round trips. You buy a ticket from a machine at the BART station. The ticket can worth $20 or whatever with each ride being subtracted from the ticket. Plan on $10.50 round trip between SF and Dublin. They also charge for parking and there is plenty of it around the Dublin station. I think rates are going up July 1 so maybe it will cost about $12 round trip.
