SFO Transfers

Does anyone have any suggestions of the best (price and time) methods of transfer from SFO to Fishermans Wharf and return:?:

BART to Embercadero Station. (http://www.bart.gov/)

Walk up Market St Past the Hyatt on the left to the "Embercadero" and the plaza in front of the Ferry Building.

Take the trolley/tram North West to Fishermans Wharf!

I did something similar with tom911 in November.

Head up to the departure level and head outside. There is the road that runs past the terminal cross that and you'll see a range of shuttle vans. Find one and tell them where you've got to get to, it'll prob cost around $15 or $16 (plus tip) but they will drive you to your hotel. - This is what I did last week.

Keep in mind that if you have 3 or more people it'd be getting pretty close to on par with a taxi (which is arounds $40)

Thanks serfty and harvyk,

I have done both of these previously but was wondering if there are other options. For this trip with SWMBO and luggage the shuttle wind hands down.

If you are going there and coming back the same day, why would you cart your luggage with you?

SFO has a luggage storage facility that is reasonably priced.

I have used this also.

The BART R/T is USD16.20 each - total USD32.40 takes 30 minutes e/w SFO/Embarcadero.

The shuttleS take longer and are from USD30 for 2 each way - total USD60+.

I can also recommend the BART (as long as stations aren't closed for flooding!), and the luggage storage place at SFO (Near the United check-in area IIRC).

There is also a shower place there next door to the luggage place, which came in handy.

Luggage Storage isn't 24/7, I think they close about 11pm at night - so important to check before using.

We are staying two nights, hence the need for luggage.

Well that changes everything.

I did not get that from your OP:

Does anyone have any suggestions of the best (price and time) methods of transfer from SFO to Fishermans Wharf and return several days later:?:

There, is that clearer:?:

Absolutely!

In which case the shuttle would be better; if more expensive ...
