Drive times are OSRM’s on empty roads, the same best-case figure as the map’s suburban lens; game nights run far slower. The taxi figure is the SFMTA taxi meter rate ($4.15 plus $3.25/mi, as of 2026-10) on that distance, the only published benchmark; rideshare prices aren’t published and surge after events. The meter’s $4.15 includes the first fifth of a mile, so these taxi figures run about $0.65 high; a taxi from SFO adds a $6.00 pick-up fee, and tolls and tip are extra. With Clipper or a contactless card, a second agency within two hours (BART to Muni, say) costs up to $2.85 less. A Muni day pass is $5.70.
