15-30 San Francisco Bay Area #2 of 6: Lights Across the Bay

Follows I-80 West across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge at night into San Francisco to US-101 South to I-280 North back to the city where we pick up I-80 East back across the bay to the Emeryville exit.

[@cldrules]

This is very soothing, excellent concept. I think I could get into freeway ride-along videos. Hell, driving in itself is quite soothing, with some good music blaring.

[@Freewayjim]

+Tangible Darkness Thank you, it really is, I enjoy driving and hopefully these videos can convey that.

[@GroomLeader]

Thanks for an amazing ride. The night time ride alongs always have a different, more engrossing view, with all the lights.

While everyone here in europe only focusses on the iconic Golden Gate, the Bay Bridge is surely able to compete with it 'freewaywise'. The entrances are amazing and the bridge itself even more.

The New version of the bridge is really meant for the night. These videos take me away from my daily problems. For a few minutes as you entered Frisco I was thinking of going clubbing , then I remembered its 8:25 AM and I'm approaching 60

[@Freewayjim]

+Edward Kollin LOL, thanks, I'll be 50 soon so I know what you mean, thanks for watching and the comment.

[@ejscott9594]

The best part of the trip is at 5:32 with the awesome entrance to the new bridge. This makes me want to go to SF more.

[@01Rossanezi]

Que infraestrutura incrível! Aqui no Brasil temos uma ponte recém construída no estado de Santa Catarina que pra mim é a que mais se parece com essa. Pesquise por Ponte Anita Garibaldi.

[@cjs121675]

The Bay Bridge at night is awesome! I have to say it is awesome to see lit up at night! Very nice ride, finally took the time to see it! Awesome ride! Always enjoy seeing the San Francisco area- as it is on my bucket list of highways to explore!

[@Freewayjim]

+cjs121675 Thanks, I hope you get there, SF won't disappoint.

[@josegloriagarcia]

nice ride jim... The bay bridge is really cool at night, I only had the chance to pass through in the day time and it is awesome, can imagine how cool it is during the night.

[@Freewayjim]

+Jose Garcia Thanks Jose, it's really something at night, like driving into a cathedral.

[@ca2fla]

Thanks for another great ride, Jim. This video seems to have more artistic presence than is usual for your rides; great job.

[@Freewayjim]

+ca2fla Thank you, having good content helps :)

[@ca2fla]

Yes. And, San Francisco and the Bay Bridge at night are conducive in that regard.

[@derrickw3021]

I have rode and even drove on these freeways several times since I am a native but come back every year on vacation since I moved . San Francisco isn't all that glamerous and has some areas notorious for crime , like Bayview / Hunter's Point , Visitacion Valley , The Tenderloin , Inner Mission & Western Addition / Fillmore . A home in a good neighborhood you have to shell out over $ 1,000,000 for and rent is sky high crazy !

[@aztecrobowalk]

some homes are going for $1 million even in the Bayview/Hunters point now. It's one of the least gentrified parts of the city. There's a bunch of industrial stuff, it's home to a bunch of projects, there are regular shootings, etc...but even there people are paying way over asking price. It's crazy

[@willcampbell8997]

About $120,000/yr. is considered low income in San Francisco, LOW! Most anywhere else, that would be middle-class. This is one of the contributing factors in San Francisco's chaotic homeless problem (along with rampant drug use).

[@FreewayBrent]

Brilliant! Damn, that camcorder really shines brightly, once put into night mode. I've always said driving the new bridge at night is akin to driving through a cathedral of sorts. On a side note, how come I can't get the free-flow driving conditions to appear on my daily drives around here, that you got in this video? lol. Fantastic work, my friend.

[@Freewayjim]

+FreewayBrent Thank you, much appreciated. Cathedral is the perfect comparison IMO, there's nothing quite like driving through this at night....I know how bad the traffic can usually be around there, sometimes it's good to be lucky.

[@robin42343]

I love seeing the new section of the Bay Bridge at night! Beautiful! I have not been on it. I do miss the old neon signs they used to have in the 1950s and '60s as you get off the bridge to enter the City. The only one left seems to be the Coca Cola sign. Thanks for the video!

Yes, I choose all the music, sometimes it comes to me quickly, others it can take a couple hours of trying different songs to see what I feel "fits" with the footage.

[@nlproductions216]

Great video! I absolutely love the new East Span of the bridge and the music. It just fits into the video. By the way, for your next season, can you drive by Chicago. That would be great! Enough said, love the ride!

They were there. I thought I may have seen someone about a second later facing the building as if he is relieving himself. Yeah, San Francisco's homelessness is really bad, so bad in fact that the city has to invest in "fecal clean-up" services. I can only shudder to think about a possible dysentery outbreak.
