I'd say that's an exaggeration. I know tons of people who commute from the city to south bay and vice versa. Plus South SF is pretty well connected by transit.

I've never heard anyone in SF say that South San Francisco is well connected by transit before. BART takes a rather circuitous route to get to the city's western edge and most Caltrain service skips its (rather sad) station.

Is that the station where you might exit onto the tracks of an oncoming (but waiting) train?
It is. They have a holdout rule though, trains only pull into the station and open their doors when the track is clear for obvious reasons.
I live in SF next to a muni station and to get there I would need to take the muni, then the bart, then the bus. For a total of one hour at least. Driving in no traffic would get me there in 20min.

Same, but from my SF house it'd be 1:40 by public, and at least 30min driving.
They're lucky that commuting anywhere in SF tends to suck.

No where in the Bay Area is ‘well connected’ by any kind of transit.

Getting to downtown SF isn't too bad if you optimize for it, but in general I agree that getting around takes quite a while.

Not if you live in Sunset or the Richmond.
