[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] nittfan: Maybe I am missing a few things: Like when is your flight out of SFO to get how much time you have between arriving by train and departing by plane. Are you touristing San Fran or just crashing for a night? (Also, I trust you mean SFO as the airport code, not SJO. SJO is San Juan, Costa Rica.) Under no circumstances would I consider walking from Amtrak's Oakland station to anywhere, particularly at night unless you are at least 6'-6", muscular, fearless, armed and wearing body armor. When you live in the Bay Area the main thing in the news concerning Oakland are shootings and gang violence. If you are touristing San Francisco, get a muni bus pass. Likewise, do not consider renting a car. A car in San Francisco is about as useful as a screen door in a submarine. Parking is both expensive and hard to find. Parking restrictions are aggressively enforced. Fines for on-street parking at wrong locations, wrong positions as in wheels not turned properly if parked on a slope, and expired meters are high. Market Street San Francisco is an urban transit showcase. In one street you can see diesel buses, electric buses, and streetcars. Go down one level and you have modern light rail transit in a tunnel, and go donw one more level and you have BART. Another and cheaper way to get to SFO from downtown San Fran is the SamTrans bus. Route 292 goes down Mission Street from Main to 10th Street and then on out to SFO, making several stops on the baggage claim level. That has become our transportation of choice when catching a plane. There is also an express bus, KX, but you cannot carry baggage on it. When on Mission St, look for the bus stop sign that says Samtrans with the route nuimbers 292 and KX. Some are at the same locations as Muni stops, and some are not. [/QB][/QUOTE]
