Hercules Transit Center

Someone stole my catalytic converter! Why do I pay $ 3 for parking when there is no security whatsoever! It was my first time parking there and I came back to a car that sounded like it was going to blow up!

Why does the City of Hercules have no regard for pedestrians? First off they give us a transit center in the middle of nowhere with no public restrooms to speak off. Then they don’t provide practical sidewalks to enter or leave the parking area on one side of the street. The side of the street that the side is on leads nowhere since you have to double cross the lights to reach your destination on Sycamore Street.
The city officials seem to want to make some easy money from us by offering first time users free parking and then they gave me a parking ticket. That is what happened to me when I took them up on their «generous» offer. Then the next day I saw several other cars with tickets on them. Is this entrapment?

A transit center that’s in the middle of nowhere. The only views u can see are parts of Highway 4 and 80 as well as a bunch of parked cars. I don’t like that they charge $ 3/​day just to park and you have to buy the permit online. Instead I’ve parked closer to home and took the nearest West cat bus to here and transfer to another bus.
On top of that, you are waiting at this transit center forever. I’ve seen people walk on train tracks and really close to the freeway entrance to get here which I don’t recommend cuz it’s stupid and dangerous.
Also there are no restrooms, food stands/​trucks or anything like that while you’re waiting for your bus to come unless you’re gonna walk all the way to Jack-​in-​the-​box or Extreme Pizza near San Pablo Ave. If you can’t provide food stands, at least make a public restroom. Even BART has that.
Otherwise, you’re waiting there forever… and ever… and ever… until u have wrinkles, gray hair, sunburned skin, and a lot of wasted time. Just kidding on the others except for the wasted time part.
F.Y.I: My review was based on my experiences from Summer 2012. I used to use HTC, bus and BART to attend a school that I used to attend in Berkeley but now I’ve gone back to driving my car around places.

Ahhh! Yet the convince of another transportation slab. Need better rest rooms facilities due to the rise in diabetes cases which require more visits to the rest room as well as the the proper disposal of medical injection materials. Who builds these models?

the new location for hercules’ park and ride has some costs and benefits.
costs:
$ 3/​day to park. whack. the old location was FREE!
gotta print those stupid permits daily. what a waste of paper!
no on-​site pay machines for parking. how the hell do you charge for parking but dont give people the option to buy it then and there. you can only buy the permits online. how elitist. not everyone is privileged enough to have access to a computer, internet, or printer.
benefits:
guaranteed parking
clean parking lot and bus waiting area
this is the location for the casual carpool to san francisco pick up in the morning and drop off in the afternoon.
the reason it only gets 3 stars is because the old parking lot was free and worked out just fine. now in addition to paying $ 3/​day to park, i also like to contribute at least a $ 1 to my casual carpool driver. so now i’m spending $ 4, where before i was spending nothing. its still cheaper than paying $ 10 roundtrip on lynx to san francisco (but at least thats reliable and you dont have to wait).
