Take BART to San Francisco International Airport
Take BART to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) from San Francisco or from anywhere on the BART line.
BART to the airport is a painless form of passive commuting. The train takes you right into the SFO terminal -- much like the train systems in many European cities.
The non-stop BART line to SFO is the Pittsburg/Baypoint line. If you're not riding the Pittsburg/Baypoint line, you'll have to transfer along the way. BART recommends transferring at Balboa Station and waiting for an SFO-bound train. You can, of course, transfer at other points along the line, just be sure to check the BART map if you don't know the routes.

You may need to transfer trains, depending on your destination. Check the BART route map to navigate your proper stops.
