Transportation

There is usually no need for a car in Berkeley, and parking can be difficult, so we advise taking a taxi, airport shuttle, or the train from the airport. You can get to Berkeley from SFO directly via BART.

1. 1. ◦It costs $8.65.
      

   2. ◦You follow the signs to the BART terminal.
      

   3. ◦Buy ticket from machine.
      

   4. ◦Take BART towards the East Bay, best bet is Pittsburg/Bay Point line.
      

2. •Another route is to take a shuttle, like BayPorter.
   

1. ◦NOTE You can make online reservations, but you have to do it at least 48 hours ahead of time.
   

3. Some more info is here: http://visitors.berkeley.edu/gethere/traveling.shtml
   

Accommodation

Hotel options in downtown Berkeley are listed  HERE

1. 1. ◦Also a word of CAUTION -- some of the locations listed, like the Claremont and Marina Doubletree require a car. The Ramada Inn is rather far too.
      

   2. ◦The Shattuck Plaza hotel is newly renovated. The French Hotel and the North Berkeley Bed and Breakfast are  about 15-20 min walk from the campus.
