從舊金山國際飛機場(SFO)到 Cupertino最便宜的公共交通方式

 從舊金山國際飛機場(SFO)到 Cupertino最便宜的公共交通方式:
搭BART、Caltrain和 Uber。

8:10AM SFO–Millbrae 8:30AM Millbrae–Melo Park 9:20AM Melo Park–Sunnyvale 10:10AM Sunnyvale–Cupertino 10:23AM

它將花費$ 4.95 + $ 3.75 + $ 12.92 + $ 3 = $ 24.62 

順便說一句,如果Uber從SFO到 Cupertino,它將花費約105美元。

為了進入BART車站月台,需要用實體Clipper卡或iPhone上的Clipper卡來掃描進入月台。 

請從iPhone上的錢包添加Clipper。然後,您可以為票價充值。 

https://www.clippercard.com/ClipperWeb/apple-pay 


BART:

BART(又名。灣區捷運)車窗上有紅色指示燈和LED顯示: Millbrae。

不要上紅線BART車窗上LED顯示「Richmond」的車。

從SFO到 Millbrae的票價為4.95美元。


從BART出口,其車站月台是位於2樓。

去1樓,Caltrain車站月台是沒有閘門的。 


Caltrain:
Millbrae 站 - > 前往 Melo Park 站的免費接班車 - > Sunnyvale 站 

乘坐免費Caltrain接班遊纜車的原因是因為週末沒有從Millbrae南行的火車,

應為他們要升級火車的電桿。


3區(Melo Park 站)至3區(Sunnyvale 站)票價為3.75美元 


常規票價: 2區(Millbrae 站)至3區(Sunnyvale 站)票價為7.50美元 


Uber:

從Sunnyvale到 Cupertino的 Uber票價為 12.92 美元 + 3 美元小費作為選項 


附注:

Millbrae車站的電梯升降很慢很慢而且窗戶上布滿了槍孔,感覺非常害怕!

 ffmpeg -i KTV_MVwithVocal.mp4 -i NoVocal.wav -map 0:v -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2,pan=stereo|c0<c0+c1|c1<c2+c3[a]" -map "[a]" PerfectKTV.mp4

ffmpeg -i KTV_MVwithVocal.mp4 -i NoVocal.mp3 -map 0:v -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2,pan=stereo|c0<c0+c1|c1<c2+c3[a]" -map "[a]" PerfectKTV.mkv

 ffmpeg -i KTV_MVwithVocal.mp4 -i NoVocal.wav -map 0:v -filter_complex "[1:a][0:a]amerge=inputs=2,pan=stereo|c0<c0+c1|c1<c2+c3[a]" -map "[a]" PerfectKTV.mp4

ffmpeg -i Input.mp4 -an -c:a copy OutputNoAudio.mp4

2. Output with audio only:
ffmpeg -i Input.mp4 -nv -c:a copy outputNoVideo.mp4
