If you are flying into San Francisco these days, the BART subway extension is now open and it's a great way to get downtown cheap and quick - if you are staying in any of the financial district hotels (such as the Hyatt or the Marriott on Market street) you won't have much of a walk from the BART station to the hotel. Trains run about every 15 minutes, and the cost to downtown (from SF Airport to the Embarcadero station, which is the last station in the city before crossing the bay ) is $4.95 (compared to about $35 for a cab). Be careful when going TO the airport from San Francisco, because not every train makes it to the airport - check the route maps and the signs on each train Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/MetroWebsite: www.bart.gov

The Bay Area Rapid Transit (or BART) is yet another one of San Francisco's mass trans systems operated independently from MUNI. However unlike MUNI, BART operates for much of a good portion of the Bay Area. BART begins in Fremont, travels north through Oakland (where tributary lines that go out to the regions east of the Bay Area connect), dives underneath the San Francisco Bay, goes underneath San Francisco, and ends near San Bruno. There are plans at this time to extend BART even further to San Jose and Milbrae and eventually create a kind of loop around the Bay Area. BART is a little more expensive than MUNI as it goes out farther, but if you're in the East Bay or in the city and want to travel a little more, it's a great, quick way to get around.
