He’s counting the airport monorail charge as part of of the regular BART fare.

Grassroots hitchhiking system called Casual Carpool is a $1 substitute for Uber

I’m assuming you took the automated train from the airport to the Coliseum station proper. There’s a $6 charge each way just for that automated segment. Without that the most expensive round trip to 16th St. would be from Pittsburgh/Bay Point at $13.20.
