Getting There & Away
BART
The easiest way to travel between San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland and other East Bay
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.
