BART is the best way to go to the airport

Whether you're planning a trip to or from the Bay Area BART is the best way to travel to/from OAK or SFO.

Here's why: Travel by car costs for gas, parking, tolls, mileage, time, pollution and traffic problems. Taking a shuttle means higher fares, earlier pick-up, multiple stops, traffic and longer travel times. Taxis are extremely expensive per mile especially in traffic. Rides from friends or family means all the costs of driving plus, waiting and circling the airport if someone's arriving. Taking BART to SFO/OAK is convenient, saves time, money and traffic hassles.
