My Travel Tips from Recent Business Trip to San Francisco

  • Prefer Lyft to Uber (do not rent a car!)
    • A number of Uber drivers canceled my ride when they discovered that it was a short trip
    • Lyft driver allowed me to store my bike in their trunk when he saw my knee injury
    • SFO tickets and tows autos aggressively

Guess how much it cost to park between the motorcycle and auto?

  • Avoid AirBNB (use a hotel, tripadvisor.com, or rent directly from property owner)
    • AirBNB customer service; not a fan.
    • Find a place with a fridge to store milk for cereal, etc.

  • Make time to exercise
    • San Francisco is a great place to bike!

  • Setup Business Profile where possible (for receipts ex: Lyft, Workshop Cafe)
    • That makes it easy to get receipts for expense reporting after your trip

  1. Two months later, after having paid the total in full, I get a bill from SFMTA demanding I pay it yet again. There is a protest process, but what a pain. Threatening verbiage from bill: ...late penalties up to $75 ... and a fee of $49... What is the city of San Francisco doing with all the money they extort from visitors (and the businesses/people that live there)? They are certainly not putting the money into fixing the pot holes in their streets or paying their teachers a reasonable salary.
