They ain't far from the light rail (or bus, iirc), and from there you can hop on the caltrain. Might take two hours to get home, but bring a book, a cold drink, and bask in the warm glow of saving some cash.
Or beg one of the south bayers to give you a ride to caltrain or some such.
I like how cold beverages find their way into threads one way or another
