SFO BART Connection
I just had a chance to ride BART from SFO for the first time. I know
that a lot of taxpayers are chapped at the billion dollars (?) spent on it, but as a traveler it was SOOOO NICE to be able to hop on a train just a few minutes after leaving the terminal and getting downtown quickly. One question: My wife and I both commented that BART is just about the loudest train we've ever been on. The below-ground section between the airport and Daly City was amazingly loud, louder than any subway we can ever recall riding. Have locals or other travelers noticed this? Just curious. |

BUT, as a traveler it was always fairly cheap, convenient, and USUALLY FASTER to grab Lorries, Pacific, or one of the other shuttles. I still use the shuttle for the above reasons. |

It depends where you're going. I commonly take BART from SFO to Union City. The one-way train fare is $6.85. The cheapest shuttle is $35. BART is slower, obviously, but MUCH cheaper. If I'm not in a hurry I always use BART. Ed |

SFO BART Connection
Just wanted to put in a good word for this system since I normally
only post to complain ) Yesterday we rode United from London to SFO and not only did the plane land on time, we got through customs/immigration/baggage/BART to Berkeley on the Richmond line in a total of 60 minutes during evening rush hour. That is ONE HOUR after setting foot off the aircraft and it cost only $5.50. Thank you UA, US Dept. of Homeland Security, Food & Ag, SFO, and most especially BART. I also echo the compliments of the poster who noted the United international check-in desk's proximity to the BART portal. not Cranky today |
