That's closer to south city Caltrain than the airport, and yet… nobody is taking Caltrain to Moscone. Judging by that neighborhood nobody's walking to Caltrain either. Caltrain to Moscone isn't a thing.

Yes and hopefully it won't be a thing (just something that happens enough that it's not nobody). But the extension to downtown is attempting to make it a thing. They're hoping that people who take it downtown will take it to go anywhere that they consider downtown accessible. Part of the plan is an underground passage to the Embarcadero BART station. I think the planned budget is ridiculous but I think it would be used at least enough for it to be considered a thing.
