Air

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the City's primary airport. A shot distance, 13 miles south of the city, SFO is a major hub for United Airlines with Virgin America also operating out of here. The City Centre is accessible using public transport. Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and Caltrain operate the two train services. BART runs trains from the airport to Downtown San Francisco and other main stations in the Bay Area. This journey to Downtown San Francisco takes approximately 15 minutes, and up tp 20 minutes for evening and weekend. Bus companies that operate services from SFO to other areas within San Francisco include SamTrans and Airporter.

Amtrak provide train services to San Francisco from other major American cities. The train station for long distance travel is situated just beyond the city limits, across the bay in Emeryville. From here, passengers can take the Amtrak California Thruway bus to the Amtrak stop at 101 Embarcadero or to a number of other stops within San Francisco. You can travel to San Francisco from Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland by taking the Amtrak Coast Starlight. The Amtrak California Zephyr run services from Chicago to San Francisco.

Greyhound operates bus services to San Francisco from other major American cities. Greyhound buses arrive into Transbay Terminal located at First and Mission streets. Xe Do Hoang also offers bus services from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

Car

San Francisco is served by various road networks. The US 101, Interstate 280 and Interstate 80 offer great links to the city depending on what direction you are coming from. US 101 comes up the eastern side of the city's peninsula and is the most desirable route for those coming form the south. This route will take you over the Golden Gate Bridge. The Interstate 280 is the more scenic route though and if you have time to spare you should take this route. Be warned, however, that this route does have poorer connections than US 101. Interstate 80 approaches the city form the east connecting with the San Francisco Bay Bridge
