B.A.R.T: BART
BART is an excellent way to get around the Bay area as a whole. You can take it between the airports and the city and also go to Berkeley. Trains are fast and efficient. They actually cross under the bay to access the other side. Powell Street Station is a popular stop because the cable cars are right there to take you further in. Embarcadero is also another good stop in the middle of the city.

    B.A.R.T: Extend BART - Transfer to Car Sharing

    Over a dozen BART stations now host Car Sharing: meaning you can take BART to near your destination, then pick up a car. This is particularly useful for avoiding the San Francisco Bay Bridge, which can be a mess any time, but especially during weekdays, Friday evening, Saturday evening and Sunday night. There are 3 car sharing organizations that offer this service, including a local non-profit by the name of City CarShare.

    Save yourself a lot of hassle and aggravation. Please don't add to San Francisco's existing gridlock. The traffic is already bad enough here. Use the BART/MUNI system to get around. These two systems comprise subways and buses, and have stations close to the cable car system as well. They service the entire Bay area, except Marin County and other places along the periphery.

    B.A.R.T: BART to/from airport
    Take the BART to and from the airport. A taxi will cost you around $35 while the BART costs only about $5. It doesn't really take that much longer either (since you don't have to wait through the traffic) It is direct to San Francisco Airport, but you need a short shuttle ride from the BART station to Oakland Airport.

    B.A.R.T: BART
    The Bay Area Regional Transportation Service actually has more stops in East Bay than it does on the west side of the bay in San Francisco. The key stops for tourists are along Market Street and include Embarcadero Station near the Ferry Building, Montgomery Street Station near China Town and North Beach, Powell Street Station at Union Square, and finally San Francisco International Airport Station. Unfortunately this leaves some fo the key areas of the city isolated from the BART including Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Bridge, Monster (Candlestick) Park, and even the downtown AT&T Park. Luckily, most of these areas are connected via the Muni or by the cablecars.

    B.A.R.T: BRAT
    Use BRAT instead of TAXI if you want to go across the bay during rush hours, especially weekend evenings

    B.A.R.T: The way to go to a game at Monster Park
    We traveled to San Francisco for the 49'ers vs. Miami Dolphins football game. Instead of trying to drive all the way downtown and then out to the ballpark, we took the BART from Dublin/Pleasanton to Balboa Park station. For $10.00 r/t, it was a great experience, plus we passed all of the traffic stuck on the highways...definitely the way to go.

    B.A.R.T: The Easiest and Fastest Way to Get Around
    Whether your flying into Oakland or San Francisco don't even think about renting a car, the BART is the best way to get around. From the Oakland Coliseum its a twenty minute ride and about 25 minutes from San Francisco Airport to Downtown. So there is no need to stay in Downtown S.F. which can be expensive, you could very easily stay in Oakland as long as its near the BART and still spend all your time in S.F. without paying a premium price. Once in the downtown area its easy to get to the majority of the sights on foot or by trolley. The cost from the S.F. airport to downtown is $5.35 and from the Oakland Colisuem, which is the stop closet to the Oakland Airport, its $3.55 to downtown not counting the $2.00 it cost for the Air Bart from the Oakland Airport to the Oakland Coliseum stop. Check the website below for up to date schedules and pricing, you can even access this site from your mobile phone!
