OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORTATION
Airport Shuttles from Oakland or San Francisco International Airport
Airport shuttles (listed below) provide door-to-door service. The prices range from $15 to $40, be sure to ask for a student rate. Reservations are recommended.
Taxi
Taxi fare to Berkeley will be approximately $40 from the Oakland Airport and $55 from the San Francisco airport.
BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit)
BART is the Bay Area's subway system. The campus is closest to the Downtown Berkeley station on the Richmond line and to the Rockridge station on the Pittsburg/Bay Point line. There is no direct connection to downtown Berkeley from San Francisco on Sundays and evenings. At those times, take the Pittsburg/Bay Point train and transfer to a Richmond train at the 12th Street (Oakland) station (traveling to San Francisco at those times, transfer at MacArthur station).
Monday - Friday, 4 a.m. to midnight*
Saturday, 6:00 a.m. to midnight*
Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to midnight*
*In many cases, BART service extends past midnight. Individual station closing times are coordinated with the schedule for the last train, beginning at around midnight. BART trains typically run every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 20 minutes on evenings, weekends and holidays. For exact times, check the QuickPlanner.
For information, call (510) 465-2278.
BART takes you directly into the International Terminal at SFO. When your train arrives at the SFO Station, just turn to your left as you exit the train and proceed through the gates. International check-in counters are just steps away.
For domestic flights, you can either walk or take a free AirTrain shuttle from the BART station to your terminal. All domestic flights are approximately a five to ten-minute AirTrain ride from the BART station.
When returning to the Bay Area, take the Blue AirTrain line from your domestic flight to BART. Or, walk to BART, following the signs to the International terminal. Take a Dublin/Pleasanton-bound BART train, use Balboa Park Station as a transfer point for other lines (Richmond or Pittsburg/Bay Point).
