Curtola Park and Ride

I have been a casual carpool rider for the last 6 years. The financial savings is incomparable. Though i must say over the years my vehicles have been broken into three times, my plates have been stolen and recently tires slashed in the vallejo park & ride lots. The parking enforcements are picking up (boardering on harassment if you ask me) ever since the lot has been under construction. There are more and more red paint on the curbs and more no stopping and no parking signs around the lemon st and curtola neighborhoods. My co worker just got a $ 53 ticket for «parking on an unpaved area», she parked along the fence in the small lot yesterday. So for $ 1.25 one way its a great deal but you park there at your own risk. BTW i still park there only because i cant afford any other alternative this is the plight of middle class workers.

My wife switched over from ferry to park and ride. The prices are incomparable. We save so much money with park and ride. The only knock I have is lack of lighting in the parking lot and lack of security. If that could improve this is a 5 star review.

I used to take the Ferry from Vallejo to SF. I must say, i wish i had the courage to start park and ride sooner.
The convenience and the amount you save monthly is worth it. i must say after 6:45 am parking is not the best. i always find myself searching for parking, once was very fortunate to find 1 last stall available since i was running late.
The more i use park and ride, the more i understand the unspoken rules…
1. No talking unless spoken to (from driver)
2. Most drivers will not take off without being paid the $ 1.25 or have your seat belt on
3. Most passengers in line prefer the get into the back seat.
4. Passengers in line have the options to skip a car for the next incoming carpool vehicle.
When you get home in the evening, you get dropped off on either side of Lemon street (in front of the Park and Ride location) depending which exit the driver takes.
For the most park there is a security guard who stays in a tower in the middle of the parking lot. who often circles the parking lot.
There is also cameras that take pictures every so often and when it does an automatic message alerts everyone in the parking lot that a picture has just been taken. which is always nice.
