How to Get from Oakland & San Francisco International Airport to Berkeley

The San Francisco International Airport is about 40 min away from the campus by car or taxi. The Oakland Airport is about 20 minutes away. Both airports are accessable by quick inexpensive public transportation - the BART train. 1. Get Change at the Airport ($1 bills and some coins); you will need it to buy bus and train tickets. 2. From the San Francisco International Airport take a BX bus to the closest BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit - "METRO") station at COLMA; the bus fare is $1.10 (as of June 2000); have exact change as the driver does not give change - if you only have a $20 bill it will cost you $20! - you have to put your own coins/note in a machine on the bus as you enter. The BX bus runs on a frequent schedule (called a Shuttle) every 10-15 minutes. The journey time from the Airport to COLMA is about 15 minutes. 3. At the COLMA BART station purchase a ticket (from a ticket vending machine) - again you need exact change to avoid paying too much; check the fare (on the map) to Downtown Berkeley (fare $3.05 in June-2000). COLMA is at the end of the San Francisco BART line; Board the first train to depart; if this is bound for RICHMOND you do not have to change, but if you board a train bound for Pittsburg/Bay Point change at Oakland City Center/12th-street and wait for a RICHMOND bound train. Trains run frequently (at least one every 15 minutes); Journey time of the train will be about half-an-hour. 4. From the Berkeley BART station you may want to take a taxi especially if you have much luggage; otherwise take the University of California Shuttle bus (fare $0.25). Go to your hotel or to the Faculty Club on Campus where the Symposium is being held. The Downtown Berkeley BART station is at the southern end of the Campus; walking time to the Faculty Club is 10-15 minutes.
