This is going to be the thread for EVERYONE who is traveling into the Bay Area for Genesis 2 and will need a ride from the ***PITTSBURG / BAY POINT*** Bart Station to the Ramada Inn on THURSDAY JULY 14TH.

We are going to attempt to provide you with rides courtesy of some very generous Norcal smashers, friends/family, etc. Because the rented-shuttle we had in mind ended up being too expensive, our remaining options for getting you to the Hotel are either:
1.) You arrange for your own taxi ride to the hotel (distance is approximately 7 miles from BART to the Hotel, at an estimated cost of $25)
2.) Our drivers can pick you up around your designated time (gas isn't free, so bringing a couple dollars each to help compensate our driver's generosity will be greatly appreciated.) xD

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION:
-Your name and the number of people you're expected to arrive to BART with
-The time you expect to arrive to BART (you can also post which airport you're flying into, along with what time your flight arrives, and we can guestimate your BART arrival time.)
-Some form of contact info, preferably a cell phone number (if privacy is a concern, you can simply send me a PM with the information above and your cell phone #)


Our Contact Info:
King (Daniel Hutchinson): (925)-727-8779 White Mercedes Benz C350
Sidefx (Boback Vakili): (925)-408-9646 Silver Toyota Prius
Germ (German Roverso): (925)-360-5985



Expected Driving Vehicles for Thursday:
Black Kia 4-door compact
Black 4-door Ford SUV




TO ALL NORCAL SMASHERS: GENESIS 2 NEEDS YOUR HELP!

We need a couple volunteers to aid us with shuttling people to the hotel from the BART station. We can provide some perks such as a free Genesis-2 T-shirt and a food/drink voucher, you'll get gas compensation from the folks being transported, and you get the chance to meet all the cool out-of-state smashers coming to Antioch for the biggest smash tournament in history!

If you're available to help us out in this regard, we'll be eternally grateful. It will most likely be from mid-morning to late evening, but with 2-3 drivers I'm sure there will be breaks in-between pickups. Our primary staff will be doing setup work in the venue on Thursday, so when nothing's happening you can stop by and chill & whatnot. =)


WHETHER YOU NEED A RIDE TO THE HOTEL ON THURSDAY, OR YOU'RE A POTENTIAL DRIVER, PLEASE POST HERE! It'll help a ton, so we can get all the travel & volunteer information sorted properly. Thanks, and see you at GENESIS!

Awesome.

Hylian/Jordan
Radium/Rauleen

Just the two of us. Our flight gets into SFO at 6:10 P.M. Thursday. I'm assuming the bart ride will be an hour like last time so maybe around 7:20-7:30 we will need a ride to the hotel from the bart station.

We can provide however much gas money you guys need. Thanks a lot!

We will be arriving at around 1:30 pm on Thursday, and we will probably get to Pittsburg station around 3 pm. There may be two other people with us, but I don't know if they're even going on the same flight as us, so I'll let them deal with it themselves. We could really use a ride from the BART station to the Ramada.

Thanks : D

Julian(tarheeljks, ITT's TO) and I will be driving up with a car full of people each on Thursday night. We're not sure what time we'll get there, but we will make a few shuttling trips each to the station until there's no one left scheduled and no one's left at the station.

Hey, so 4 or 6 of us will need transportation from the BART to the Ramada at some point during the day. I say "some point" because we're flexible - we're arriving in Norcal from Wednesday, so we can depart for the BART station at any time it's convenient.

There will definitely be 4 of us - Me, Vish, Kou (from Japan), and Shoyo (from Hawaii). Depending on how things work out, RAIN and EARTH (the Brawl players from Japan, they were at APEX) may be tagging along with us as well.

I suspect that even if they aren't with us, they would appreciate their own rides from the BART to the hotel, though.

I'll buy you dinner or a drink or something if you wanna help us out. <3


Oh yeah, and I'm going to post this in the housing thread as well, but since we're arriving in Norcal on Wednesday and not Thursday, we're looking for a non-hotel place to stay JUST for Wednesday night. Shoyo won't be with us, so it'd be 5 of us, I guess. Any takers? We're really good at Melee and really good at partying ;D ;D And Rain and Earth are really good at Brawl.

The shuttlers? I don't know when I'm getting into Antioch yet, it depends on everyone I know's flight info. Worst case, I get in a bit late.

But I will be driving until I don't see anyone at the station and Boback isn't expecting any more people.

I just rebooked my flight to arrived on the 14th. I get in to SFO at 11:45a, so I'd say I'll be at the Pittsburg/Bay Point station between 1:30-1:45 (? You guys know the times better than I do).
Would be just me :3

Alright, I bought my ticket. ;D

I'll be arriving at SFO on Thursday @ 6:47 PM, so I figure I'll arrive at the Pittsburg/Baypoint around 8:30 and 9:00 PM.

I'm flying alone. Also I would really like an estimate of how much gas money will be required. I am EXTREMELY short on money, so I really need to know what people are asking so I can work it into my budget.

thats up to the driver really. its 14 miles for them to pick you up so like 2-3 bucks would probably be fine.

but like i said its up to the driver. i drive a prius so im probably going to be asking for like a dollar lol if i end up picking you up

The less money I have to spend, the better. I'm pretty much tapping all available resources to make this happen.

okay stab and I are arriving at OAK at 1:51pm on Thursday. Idk how bad/crowded BART is going to be around that time but I think we should be arriving at the pittsburg/bay point station around 3:30pm. It'd be awesome if we could get picked up from there. Thanks!

Ok, my flight gets into Oakland at 11:09 on Thursday evening, meaning I'd take the 11:40 Orange out and end up at the BART station in Pittsburg around 12:30am. Can anyone pick me up at that time?

Then I leave out of SFO at 7 am on Tuesday

If someone can pick up DoH, could they get me at the same time? I fly into SFO at 10:55 PM Thursday, so I'll get the 11:33 yellow out to Pittsburg.

Your thread was locked because this is the thread to talk about matters related to transportation for Genesis 2. A bunch of threads asking for rides and stuff creates clutter so it's better to keep it in one thead. Fly is a good guy.
