Transportation from SFO/OAK to Berkeley

If you fly into SFO we suggest BART to transport you to and from LBNL. From OAK, it may be easier to take a taxi/shuttle, but there is also a bus (AirBART) that can take you to a nearby BART station.

SFO to Berkeley by BART:

At the SFO station, take the Pittsburgh/Bay Point train to the 12th St. Oakland City Center station. Get off that train and take the Richmond train to the downtown Berkeley station. If you are staying at the LBNL Guest House, after you get off at the downtown Berkeley station taxis are parked around the BART station area.

Airport shuttle:

If you will be using an airport shuttle, Bayporter Express is recommended by LBNL:

The Bayporter Express shuttle is familiar with the lab, and will drop you off and pick you up at the Berkeley Lab Guest House.

LBNL Shuttle Information

There is no weekend service. Shuttles run Monday through Friday, 6:20am - 7:30pm, every 12 minutes. When getting on the shuttle bus from outside of the lab, please print out the shuttle bus pass and show it to the shuttle bus driver along with your photo ID. If you take the shuttle bus up to the lab from downtown Berkeley, you can ask the shuttle bus driver to let you off at building 50 auditorium:
