Just a few hours until @hknightsf @peterhartlaub and I head out on our #totaltransit2022 journey in an attempt to use all 27 of the Bay Area’s transit agencies in one day. We’ll be tweeting all day with updates, so follow along with the hashtag! @sfchronicle

One thing I don’t know: Can I bring a metal Hydroflask into @OracleParkSF? cc @SFGiants #totaltransit2022

Good morning and happy #totaltransit2022 day to literally no one because I’m talking to myself because it’s 5 a.m. 🥴

And we’re off! Our first bus is an AC Transit to the ferry in Alameda. We are sleepy but excited! #totaltransit2022 @sfchronicle @peterhartlaub @hknightsf

Bus one down! A 78 AC Transit to the Alameda ferry terminal. Heather and I already have to pee 😬#totaltransit2022 @sfchronicle @peterhartlaub @hknightsf

We had a lovely greeting by @SFBayFerry’s spokesperson Tom Hall! He even has treats! #totaltransit2022 @sfchronicle @peterhartlaub @hknightsf

The view from the captain’s cabin can’t be beat! Making our way into San Francisco. This is my first sunrise @SFBayFerry ride 🥹 @sfchronicle #TotalTransit2022 @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

Assemblymember @DavidChiu met up with us at the ferry building to ride the Muni Metro for our San Francisco stint of #TotalTransit2022! @sfchronicle @peterhartlaub @hknightsf

This is the reality of our day. Running and running and running for #TotalTransit2022. Heading to the Golden Gate Ferry now! @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub @DavidChiu

A pretty sunrise greeted us when we arrived at the Golden Gate Ferry to Larkspur fe San Francisco 🌞 #totaltransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

From the Golden Gate Ferry to Larkspur Marin Transit 29 bus, we’re well on our way to the SMART train and it’s barely 8! #totaltransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

Settling into the SMART train on our way to Santa Rosa. Gives us a little time to organize our route, send in pictures, eat snacks and @peterhartlaub will be on @KCBSRadio at 8:20! #TotalTransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf

Made it to Santa Rosa, ran a LOT more, checked off Santa Rosa City Bus, Petaluma Transit AND Golden Gate Transit. Now headed back to Petaluma to make our Amtrak connection #totaltransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

After a leisurely ride on the Petaluma Transit bus, we’re now waiting on the CRUCIAL Amtrak connecting bus in Petaluma to take us to Napa 😬 #TotalTransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

Made the Amtrak train and it’s cushy! Bathrooms, chargers, comfy seats. Now a cruise past wine country and pumpkin patches on our way to Napa #totaltransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

It’s been a minute since our last update because we stopped for wine and lunch during one of our long breaks in Napa. @OracleSeagull was there to greet us with a gift! Back on the road taking a @VineTransit bus to Fairfield #TotalTransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

The @SolTransRide Green line is very green 🍀 On our way to El Cerrito! #TotalTransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

My Clipper Card history is ridiculous right now 😂 So thankful we’ve been able to use it on almost every ride today! #TotalTransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

We met Ricky Ortiz and Pac-Man, THE @SFBART falcon at El Cerrito BART Station. He got so excited he projectile pooped. #TotalTransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

We had to skip our County Connection ride because it was 18 minutes late due to traffic ☹️

Still really enjoying this smushed PB&J with a view while we wait for a ride back to MacArthur BART #totaltransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

These dang @SFBART doors keep opening later than usual and we don’t know why. Back on @SFBART in Union City after a little Dumbarton Express ride. Dare so say we’re in the home stretch!? #totaltransit2022 @sfchronicle @peterhartlaub @hknightsf

Oops, I literally jinxed us. The @SFBART train conductor just announced we have a mechanical issue and are heading back to Union City 😳 Peter says “Okay. We’re screwed” #totaltransit2022 @peterhartlaub @hknightsf @sfchronicle

ALL IS WELL! We’re back on track to Berryessa. It’s safe to say no one is very excited about San Jose 🥲 #totaltransit2022 @sfchronicle @hknightsf @peterhartlaub

We’re on @Caltrain! Peter gave transit enthusiast Ryan the shirt off his back! We’re nearing the end and I want a beer! #TotalTransit2022 @hknightsf @peterhartlaub @sfchronicle

Things have gotten dire and we’re getting delirious. @peterhartlaub is drinking his old, hot celery juice as we cruise north on Caltrain #totaltransit2022 @hknightsf @sfchronicle

25 transit vessels. 17 transit agencies. 9 counties. 15 hours. This @Caltrain ride is our last trip of #totaltransit2022. And I only had to yell at two drivers!

@SFGiants game, please. @hknightsf @peterhartlaub @sfchronicle
