If you use the carpool lanes and FasTrak during the M-F morning commute, how much does it decrease your drive time (SF to Oak and Oak to SF)?

As far as getting into SF in the morning it cuts your time literally in half when traffic is heavy. You avoud waiting in line at the toll plaza and you also avoid the metering lights between the toll and the bridge itself. I would say you save 10-30 minutes.

From SF to Oakland, the carpool lane is on the south side of the Bridge and depending on which direction your coming from you can save quite a bit of time as well, but I dont think you save as much as coming in to SF from Oakland in the morning because on bad days, the SF city street approaches to the Bay Bridge are just atrociously bad.
