I forgot to mention -- At Millbraw, BART and Caltrain are right across  
the platform from each other.  It's intended to be convenient :-)

Also -- BART tickets are required to even go through the turnstiles to  
the platform.  Caltrain, you must buy your ticket from the vending  
machine beforehand, but the ticket is only checked by the train  
conductor once you are on-board.

BART fares are based on the distance you travel.

Caltrain fares are based on how many "zones" you travel through.
