An interesting article in SF Gate. The BART extension to SFO finally opened, and two reporters had a race from Rockridge to the airport, during commute time on a Monday morning. The race was from the BART parking lot to the United Airlines check-in line. The driver beat the BARTer by 9 minutes.

However it was significantly cheaper for the BART rider if you take into account long term parking at SFO.

It's a shame that the Bay Area is so lacking in public transportation. It's amazing it's taken this long for BART to link up with CalTrain.
