BART
The easiest way to travel between San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland and other East Bay
points is on BART ( 511, 510-465-2278; www.bart.gov ) . Trains run approximately every 10
minutes from 4am to midnight on weekdays, with limited service from 6am on Saturday
and from 8am on Sunday.
To get to Berkeley, catch a Richmond-bound train to one of three BART stations: Ashby
(Adeline St and Ashby Ave), Downtown Berkeley (Shattuck Ave and Center St) or North
Berkeley (Sacramento and Delaware Sts). The fare ranges from $3.75 to $4 between
Berkeley and San Francisco; $1.85 between Berkeley and downtown Oakland. After 8pm
on weekdays, 7pm on Saturday and all day Sunday, there is no direct service operating
from San Francisco to Berkeley; instead, catch a Pittsburg/Bay Point train and transfer at
19th St station in Oakland.
A BART-to-Bus transfer ticket, available from white AC Transit machines near the
BART turnstiles, reduces the connecting bus fare by 25ยข.
BUS
The regional company AC Transit ( 511, 510-817-1717; www.actransit.org ) operates a number
of buses from San Francisco's Transbay Temporary Terminal to the East Bay. The F line
leaves from the Transbay Temporary Terminal to the corner of University and Shattuck
Aves approximately every half-hour ($4.20, 30 minutes).
Between Berkeley and downtown Oakland ($2.10) on weekdays, take the fast and fre-
quent 1R bus along Telegraph Ave between the two city centers, or bus 18 that runs daily
via Martin Luther King Jr Way. Bus 51B travels along University Ave from Berkeley
BART to the Berkeley Marina.
CAR & MOTORCYCLE
With your own wheels you can approach Berkeley from San Francisco by taking the Bay
Bridge and then following either I-80 (for University Ave, downtown Berkeley and the
UCB campus) or Hwy 24 (for College Ave and the Berkeley Hills).
Driving to San Francisco, the bridge toll is $4 to $6, depending on the time and day of
the week.
