It would be interesting to know when the book was written.  Let's not forget 
that the fares on both BART and MUNI have changed over the years, and while 
MUNI may be cheaper now, for a while BART's minimum fare was less than 
MUNI's.  People might also take BART instead of MUNI because they had a BART 
ticket in their pocket but no money for MUNI.  Or they just might like BART 
better.  It's not a mistake of the kind where you can't get there that way, 
just one where the other service might be more likely.
 
These days, at least during some parts of the year, you could avoid the whole 
problem of going underground by riding the historical trolley cars on Market 
Street itself.  :-)
