Midtown to wall st is 30 minutes of subway riding
You’re overcomplicating the commute. Take the 132 Southbound, about 15 mins during morning rush hour.
My guess, though, is you’re not really complaining about a specific commute as much as the paucity of rail in SF, and other faster commute options than bus. Relatively crummy public transport in SF is a valid gripe.
But in larger context, it seems you’re just not happy in/with SF. Could also be you’re just not happy.
If you’re looking to improve your experience, you might do well to consider that SF probably won’t be “fixed” inside our lifetimes.
I haven't had the opportunity to see let alone take that new line. I'll have to check it out.
That said, the route Marina to FiDi (mentioned in GGP) is at a right angle and about half a mile south of the Chinatown Rose-Pak station.
you have to take a bus backwards for 3 stops just to get to a subway entrance
But if you leave at 8:30 thinking that you have a 30 minute ride, traffic backs up so badly that taking a bus 25 stops clean across the city to Market and Church, so you can then take a subway is the recommended option, turning it into a 43 minute ordeal.

In no reality would you ever need to ride 25 stops to get to a subway station from an outer borough in NYC.
