possessions.

7. GREYHOUND
There are 10-12 buses every 24 hours from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back.
It takes 8-12 hours but is the cheapest option. Grey-hounds also go all over the US,
but, although low in dollars, you pay in time and discomfort.

9. SHUTTLES
One of the best ways to get from and to the airport is to use the shuttle services, some
of which are door-to-door. You can pick them up on the upper level at SFO. When
making the return trip, however, you'll need to book the door-to-door type. Others
leave regularly from major hotels and pick-up spots.
