Yes, I'm specifically talking about Caltrain, specifically to San Francisco. People live in SF for reasons other than cost, and work in MV/PA/MP.
And even at the level of individual stops with baby bullet service being prioritized -- University Ave is more expensive than California Ave, partially for this reason.
Rents go from $5-7 in downtown PA (University) and $3-5 in downtown MV (Castro) to $1-2 in the Hillview Ave/HP/etc. part of PA, or the weird ghettoey area where YC/old Hacker Dojo/etc. are (which is about 8-10 blocks from downtown MV).
There's really no great transit in the Bay Area. BART and Caltrain, if you're going on stops directly on the route, are the best. If you were going solely by transit accessibility at least cost, Millbrae would seem like the natural pick, but it kind of sucks.
