SFO to Sunnyvale, CA
Does anyone know how to use public transportation to go from SFO to Sunnyvale.
Caltrain? How do you get from SFO to Caltrain station? Thanks! |
To get to Cal-Train from SFO, you take a BART shuttle one stop to the Millbrae station (which serves both BART and Cal-Train). Buy your Cal-Train ticket at Millbrae and head south.

Thank you! sf7307 It sounds pretty easy. Is there a charge for BART shuttle. Where do you catch it, if you come in on Delta?
|
sf--I defer to your knowledge of the Penninsula but it was my understanding that SFO-Millbrae only operates after 7pm and on weekends. Am I wrong?
|
BART runs from SFO to Millbrae all night long. Every 20min, at :04, :24, and :44. Last train is 1:04am. Arrives in Millbrae 5min later, at :09. Same schedule 7 days a week. Fare is $4.00.
CalTrain from Millbrae to Sunnyvale runs until midnight. Limited schedule outside of rush hour, so there may be a wait. http://www.caltrain.com/schedules/weekdaytimetable.html |
You can take the free AirTrain shuttle to the airport BART station.
I believe Delta uses Terminal 1. From Terminal 3 (UA and AA) it's just as easy to walk to BART. http://www.flysfo.com/web/page/about...rain-maps.html |
Again I defer to anyone's more superior knowledge of the Penninsula, BUT the BART website only shows trains going directly to Millbrae from SFO after 7pm (or more accurately 6:57) on weekdays. Before then one apparently has to take the Pittsburg/Bay Point train N one stop to San Bruno and transfer to a south bound train, one stop to Millbrae.

You're right - earlier trains you have to go to San Bruno and then change trains. Personally, I'd just take a taxi from the airport to Millbrae Cal-train, but if $$$ are an issue, you can still get there on BART (SAB, I live here -- I have no reason to TAKE BART from the airport to CalTrain :-) )
|
Sorry - you are correct. I read the replies quickly and misread it to be an inquiry about after 7pm trains.
It's still a pretty quick connection to Millbrae even if you need to connect at San Bruno - no more than 15min total. |
Another possibility -- try the KX bus combined with bus 22.
|
Thanks, guys off to SFO to SunnyVale!
|
OK I took AirTrain to BART then to Milbrae CalTrain right to SunnyVale and called my hotel to send a cab.
Thank you! Yall are a wonderful group! I appreciate you! ~~TN Cricket |
