You step off the gangway into the sharp, salty air of San Francisco Bay; luggage in tow, the city’s low-slung skyline and the curve of the waterfront ahead. A driver holds a nameplate under an overcast sky, and within minutes you’re sliding away from the pier — the Bay opening up, ferry traffic peppering the water, and the city sliding by as you head south toward SFO.
