How do I get from Oakland to San Francisco without a car?
Take BART from OAK to Coliseum Station, then board a San Francisco/Daly City-bound train. BART stops at four downtown San Francisco stations that are an easy walk or short cab ride to most San Francisco hotels. BART fares are based on distance traveled; the greater the distance, the higher the fare.
Is it better to fly to Oakland or San Francisco?
People often prefer to fly into SFO because there is a perceived advantage to taking BART straight from the airport, rather than the AirBART shuttle from OAK to the BART station. Honestly, though, the OAK airport itself is much easier to deal with: quick baggage claim, fewer weather-related delays, and smaller crowds.
