from oakland to SF

Hello guys!
I wonder how far is Oakland from San Francisco . I just checked jet
blue and they don't fly to SF, but to Oakland, CA...what about taking a
cab from there? or is there any public transportation from there?
And my idea was to return LA to NY, but again jet blue doesn't have
flights from LA. I think the closest is Burbank, right ??
thanks Juan

From the Oakland airport to San Francisco is about 20 miles.

Bay Area Rapid Transit (subway) will take you from the Oakland Airport
(after taking a shuttle bus, AirBART) to major destinations throughout the
Bay Area, including San Francisco.

And jetBlue has a lot more flights to Long Beach than to Burbank. Depending
on where you're planning to go in LA, Long Beach might be more convenient.

$2 BART bus shuttle to the Coliseum BART station and then about $3 to SF.
About 30 minutes total + waiting for the train / shuttle. Trains run about
every 20 minutes during the day.

BART goes to Oakland and San Francisco, but not the north bay (Marin, etc.)
or the south bay (Silicon Valley, etc.).

To Marin, take BART to Richmond/El Cerrito del Norte or downtown SF,
and Golden Gate Transit buses from there (www.goldengatetransit.org).

To South Bay, take BART to Millbrae and Caltrain from there.

But IIRC the original poster asked for connections to SF.

Avoid the cab, especially during rush hours. It is an expensive
cab ride even when the route is clear, but if there is a major
traffic snarl you might end up sitting in the cab watching the
meter ticfk off time. The problem is there is really only one way
in to San Francisco: the Bay Bridge.

I would suggest the AirBART shuttle from OAK to BART and tehn
BART into SF. About five dollars total.

But where exactly in SF are you headed? In SF there are a number
of choices for getting from a BART station to other points.

You can take BART to Fremont also and then bus to San Jose.

DURING.

Wine Country is AWAY from the way to L.A.

Go with Dollar or Enterprise. Get online at dollar.com or enterprise.com
and book BUT try to get the car at the airport as both have better prices
when you get the cars from the airport.


Oh, and NO I'm NOT a SHILL for either of them.
