perhaps i misread the original story, but sounded like he was checked into a hotel in the city and could have taken caltrains directly from SF. get to caltrains (taxi/bus/walk) then one train all the way. google maps is pretty incredible for figuring this stuff out in a hurry. story reads as kind of impulsive, almost bragging about wasting money. maybe not a good steward of investor capital.

makes me think pg made the right call.

You're on your way to a once in a lifetime meeting. Spending 100 dollars to have an expert drive you there seems like money well spent. Assuming that "google maps is pretty incredible for figuring this stuff out in a hurry" seems like a really bad idea. If you're not from SF, how would you know how good google maps is at determining the right caltrain route?
