Avoid Holiday Airport Traffic - Take the Train or Bus to the Plane

Holiday travelers can bypass traffic and parking hassles this season by leaving the driving to SamTrans, Caltrain or BART. Public transit to the San Francisco or San Jose airports is inexpensive and convenient.

To San Francisco International Airport
SamTrans buses deliver customers to the curb at four airport locations:
Courtyard A, Terminal 2, Terminal 3 and Courtyard G.

SamTrans provides service from the Peninsula and San Francisco to SFO on two routes: 292 (San Mateo to San Francisco) and KX (Palo Alto to San Francisco).

Passengers traveling from north of the airport to the airport with more than a carryon are advised to take Route 292 because of a luggage restriction on Route KX. The luggage restriction doesn’t apply south of the airport.

Caltrain passengers can make a cross-platform transfer at the Millbrae Intermodal Station to BART for a quick trip to SFO.

To Mineta San Jose International Airport
For passengers flying out of San Jose, Caltrain connects with Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's free Route 10 Airport Flyer bus at the Santa Clara Caltrain Station.

For information on fares and schedules, call 1-800-660-4287 (TTY 650-508-6448).
