 | San Francisco B.A.R.T Reviews | Tips 31 - 40 of 61 |  |
B.A.R.T will take you to most parts of the city that you want to go. It'll take you downtown from SFO and Oakland airports. It also goes into the Mission and throughout most of the Bay Area. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

There train system is not as extensive as in other cities. It mainly is in the downtown/ business area. It does not really go to the tourist or residential areas. One line the F does go to Fishermans Wharf. As a tourist you probably will have little use for it. For business travelers staying in the downtown area you may find it more suitable.

 | |  |  | B.A.R.T: Efficient Ride Around Bay Area and East Bay! | |  |  | |  |
While the Muni system provides the primary way for visitors relying on public transportation to get around the city, the BART rapid transit trains are your ticket into the city from both the San Francisco and Oakland International Airports, as well as an efficient way to get to some of the suburban areas south of San Francisco and the East Bay communities. BART operates in downtown San Francisco street, in the lower level of the Market Street Subway, below the Muni Metro trains. The system runs as far south of San Francisco as Milbrae, and, on the east side of the bay, serves Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, Pittsburg, Bay Point, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Fremont. BART fares are priced by the distance you ride, and the system is more expensive than riding Muni. Therefore, it is not really designed for travel within downtown San Francisco. However, for reaching the city from the airports, or for travel to other locations in the Bay Area, it is a fast, cheap way to get to your destination. prices are: example ar trip from balboa park to embarcadero is $ 1:45; Daly City to Oakland airport is $ 3.85 Theme: TrainPhone: (415) 989-2278Website: www.bart.gov/

| | | | B.A.R.T: Good for getting to Airports | | | | | |
BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is one of San Francisco's Metro-type systems. It is great for getting to and from 2 of the 3 San Francisco Bay Area's Airports. However, it is not a great option for travelling within the San Francisco. There are limited stops in San Francisco and they are all pretty much in the same area. BART is used more for commuters or people who are staying in the greater bay area (mostly the East Bay) and want to get in to the city. If you are flying into/out of San Francisco Airport (SFO), then BART is a great option for getting to and from San Francisco. BART has a stop the airport. Make sure you get on the train that says "San Francisco Airport/Milbrae" if you are leaving San Francisco and need to get to the airport. The other trains going in the same direction will stop before reaching the airport. If you are at SFO and need to go into the city, you can take the "Dublin/Pleasanton" line (which is the only line right now that goes to the airport). Make sure you do some research as to where to get off if you are going to San Francisco because Dublin/Pleasanton is on the otherside of the bay. If you want to go to the Oakland Airport (OAK), you need to get on either the "Dublin/Pleasanton" line or the "Fremont" line (The Fremont Line stops running after 7PM on weeknights). Then get off at Oakland Coliseum/Oakland Airport. Once you are at the Oakland Coliseum, you have to take the AirBart Shuttle which is $3 for adults and $1 for children, the disabled, and seniors. If you want to go into the city and you are at the Oakland Coliseum Bart Station, you can take the "San Francisco Airport/Milbrae" line or the "Daly City" line. If you are planning to visit other cities while you are visiting San Francisco, BART is the most easiest way to get to some cities around the Bay. My suggestion is to check out the BART website, it is very user friendly. It even has a section where you can search destinations based on where you are visiting.
