You can take SamTrans Bus 297/397 from Mission & First, connect to VTA Bus 22 in Palo Alto, which runs all the way down to San Jose. Both buses run 24 hours a day. (Although during the day the 297/397 is called KX and runs a lot more often.) Unfortunately the closest Bus 22 will get you is El Camino Real, but that's at least a very short cab ride from almost anywhere you might want to go once you get close to your destination. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=mission%20and%201st,%20sf,%20ca http://www.samtrans.com/pdf/Schedules/Route_297_397_12-23-07.pdf http://www.vta.org/schedules/SC_22.html You’re not *exactly* stuck at midnight, but the options to get out aren’t too fun.

You could have probably shaved 30 minutes off your trip if you caught an express train (before 9AM). Bart from Millbrae is VERY slow. An alternative is to ride Caltrain all the way to the terminal at 4th and King, and then walk to the Metreon, which is also on 4th Street, about 10-15 minutes but faster and cheaper than the Bart approach IMO. But no matter what you do you're basically stuck in SF at midnight. Good on you trying it out. Caltrain is particularly commuter-oriented.
