If you fly into OAK or SFO  we suggest BART to transport you to and from Berkeley.   Transportation from SFO/OAK Airports to Berkeley via BART:

SFO Airport to Downtown Berkeley BART:  

Much easier than traveling by car.   From the SFO International Terminal, take the Richmond bound train to the downtown Berkeley exit -- not the North Berkeley exit, and not the Ashby exit, just the Downtown Berkeley exit. Get off at the Berkeley exit, go up the stairs to the street level and locate the Bank of America across the street (corner of Center and Shattuck). Head towards the bank and walk north on Shattuck towards the main bus stop area — the shuttle bus stop is marked for Berkeley Lab and is in front of the Sandwich Zone shop, just past the bank. Wait for a marked Laboratory shuttle bus which will bring you directly to Berkeley Lab (see the directions for using our shuttle. See other transit information here).

OAK Airport to Downtown Berkeley BART:  

From the OAK International terminal, take the AirBart tram to the Coliseum BART Station.   Take a Richmond bound BART Train from the Coliseum Station to the Downtown Berkeley BART Station -- not the North Berkeley exit, and not the Ashby exit, just the Downtown Berkeley exit. Get off at the Berkeley exit, go up the stairs to the street level and locate the Bank of America across the street (corner of Center and Shattuck). Head towards the bank and walk north on Shattuck towards the main bus stop area — the shuttle bus stop is marked for Berkeley Lab and is in front of the Sandwich Zone shop, just past the bank. Wait for a marked Laboratory shuttle bus which will bring you directly to Berkeley Lab (see the directions for using our shuttle. See other transit information here). To return to OAK, take a Fremont or Dublin/Pleasanton bound train to the Coliseum station then transfer to the AirBART to OAK train at Platform 3. 

LBNL SHUTTLE BUS - Go to:  LBNL Shuttle Bus Schedules

 We strongly encourage the use of public transportation in combination with the LBL Shuttle to access the Lab.  If you are staying at the Berkeley Lab Guest House (BLGH) you will be provided with an LBNL Shuttle pass.  Parking is available for BLGH guests upon request.   If you are not staying at the BLGH, please use your Photo ID on day one or your event badge. 

Shuttles run Monday through Friday, 6:20 am - 7:16 pm, every 12 minutes and less frequently until 9:28 pm (the last bus does not go all the way to the Guest House). When getting on the shuttle bus from outside of the lab, please show your printed Guest House confirmation to the shuttle bus driver along with your photo ID or your event badge.  Otherwise, take a taxi (parked around the BART station area) to the Berkeley Lab Guest House. Tell the taxi driver to drive up Hearst to the Berkeley Lab main gate. From the main gate, go up straight on Chu Road, make a right at the first circle into Smoot Road, and then take a right at McMillan Road. The Guest House is located about 100 meters up to your left.
