Right now I work in Marin, so I drive. For bus routes, I have to do my research. I did apply for a parking permit, though I understand those are hard to come by. I was originally thinking I would bart to the civic center and then take the USF shuttle, but as I mentioned above the $3 each way seems a little steep on top of daily bart fare.... So, no, I don't know about the 44. What areas does it go through? I need to become literate in the ways of Muni:)
