Ground Transportation

The most convenient and economical ground transportation from either airport to Downtown Berkeley is the BART metro system. You can plan your journey at the BART website.

At high traffic times, BART is much more efficient than cabs, uber, or lyft.

(Cabs in Berkeley are more expensive than either Uber or Lyft.)
