And probably not living in a downtown environment, either. Downtown SF to Googleplex is a two-hour commute each way, whether by car or train. So "Google" and "SF" are really two separate conversations, even if they are only 60 km apart -- kind of like "DTK" and "Toronto".
I think a clear majority at Google and other big companies in the SF Bay area commute by bus, which is more like a hour each way thanks to HOV lanes. Still far longer than I'd want to commute, which is one of several reasons I live here.
