Holiday Travelers Can Take SamTrans, Caltrain to Airports

Holiday air travelers can avoid traffic and parking hassles by leaving the driving to SamTrans or Caltrain.

San Francisco Airport

Public transit to San Francisco International Airport is inexpensive and convenient. Buses bring patrons to the curb and all buses are wheelchair accessible.

SamTrans provides service from the Peninsula and San Francisco to the airport through four routes.
  • 193 and BX (north county)
  • 292 (San Mateo to San Francisco)
  • KX (Palo Alto to San Francisco)
Route 193 connects with BART at the Daly City BART Station, and express Route BX serves BART at the Colma station.

Route KX is unable to carry passengers with luggage between San Francisco and the airport.

Passengers can also take Caltrain and the free SFO shuttle to the airport. The shuttle meets every weekday train until approximately 10 p.m. daily, transporting passengers between from the Millbrae Caltrain Station and the airport. For the duration of the CTX construction project, Caltrain will not operate on the weekends. Passengers departing or returning on a weekend can use Route 292 to connect with Caltrain's alternative weekend service Route RRX, which serves the Hillsdale Caltrain Station in San Mateo.

Both SamTrans buses and the Caltrain SFO shuttles stop at terminals one or two, or the international terminal on the lower level.

San Jose Airport

For passengers heading to San Jose International Airport, Caltrain connects with the Valley Transportation Authority's free Airport Flyer bus at the Santa Clara Caltrain Station during the week.
