San Francisco Airport Transit:
back to top
Using public
transportation to get to/form major airports in the area might
be tricky but sometimes is the cheapest alternative to other
forms of ground transportation.
San
Francisco - San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Option
One: SamTrans route KX (SFO shuttle bus) goes form the
airport to San Francisco Downtown, has stops at Mission Street
and 7th St. and Mission St. and 1st St. KX Express fare is
about $5.
Option
Two: Caltrain, you can take BART from the airport for one
stop to get to Caltrain station in Millbrae, CA (100
California Drive, Millbrae 94030) or San Bruno, CA (481
Huntington Ave., San Bruno 94066). Caltrain also stops in
following places in San Francisco: Bayshore Station at 400
Tunnel Ave., 22nd St. Station at 1149 22nd. St., and San
Francisco Depot at 700 4th. Street. Caltrain fare between SF
and San Bruno or Millbrae stations is about $5, BART fares
from SFO to San Bruno is $7, and Millbrae is $4.
Option
Three: BART, stops in airport and has stops in the
following places in San Francisco: in SF Downtown, Embarcadero
(Hyatt Regency Hotel), Montgomery St. (Palace Hotel), Powell
St./Union Square Hotels, Civic Center/UN Plaza (Holiday Inn
Civic Center, Whitcomb Hotel, Renoir Hotel), in the Mission
and further south, 16th St./Mission St., 24th St. and Mission
St., Glen Park (corner of Diamond and Bosworth Streets), and
Balboa Park (between Mission Street and I-280 north of Geneva
Avenue). BART fare is about $7-$9 from SF to SFO.
Option
Four: It is important to note that even though it is
possible to get to other places in SF using transit it might
be too much of the hustle getting form bus stop to bus stop
especially with luggage and paying for transit (if you pay for
BART, SamTrans, or Caltrain you will still need to pay for
MUNI) unless you travel very light and live close by one of
the stops (of BART, Caltrain, or SamTrans, so you don't have
to transfer) it might make more sense to use SFO shuttle
service (share ride van), it would be only a few dollars more
in total price (tip the driver, if you like the service) but
quicker and more convenient because they will take you right
to the door for about $15-$18, taxi is about $40, car service
(limo) $55 and up.
Airport Shuttle Transportation to/form San Francisco
Universities:
back to top
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) - has a
number of locations in San Francisco, medical center is
located on Parnassus Ave. as well as in Mission Bay.
www.ucsf.edu
San
Francisco State University (SF State or SFSU) - main
school housing (dorm) 800 Font Blvd Mary Ward Hall San
Francisco, CA 94132
www.sfsu.edu
University
of San Francisco (USF) - college housing/dorms are at Lone
Mountain Campus and Golden Gate Ave., entrance by the "Guard
Shack".
www.usfca.edu
Since none of
the campuses are located next to BART stations it would not
make any sense to use public transit to get to SFO. The price
for airport shuttle is about $17 for first passenger and $10
for each additional. Taxi, Car Service, or a Limo would be in
$45-$75 range. Similar picture is for OAK, $27 and $10
respectively. Taxi, Car Service, or a Limo would be in $55-$95
range. However if you really want to use transit to get to OAK
you will need to use MUNI (San Francisco Municipal Railway -
city's public transportation agency) to nearest BART station
and take BART to Oakland Airport.
In the
unlikely event of traveling to San Jose airport form San
Francisco (shuttles are about $65-75 for first passenger,
taxis and limos are costly) you may take MUNI to and San
Francisco Caltrain Station, take Caltrain to Santa Clara
Caltrain station, from there you can take free VTA (Valley
Transit Authority) Airport Flyer Route #10 bus to the airport.
Stanford University Marguerite Shuttle
Marguerite is Stanford’s free public shuttle service, which
