San Francisco Transportation Tips by melancholia

'Mode': TO,AROUND

Getting TO/AROUND: i flew into the SFO airport. there is also the san jose and oakland airports nearby. if you do not have a car while you are in san francisco, i recommend getting a shuttle, rather than a taxi to wherever you are staying. it ranges from about 12-17 dollars to be taken from the airport to your hotel. you will be going with a few other passengers, so you may not be the first to be dropped off..i personally appreciated this though, it gave me a chance to see more of the city as other people were let off at their hotels.
while in the city lookout for a blue booklet with san francisco coupons. i found a $10 dollar coupon for american airporters shuttle for my trip back to the aiport. i paid $17 on my way into san francisco. don't forget to tip the driver. and if you are coming from san jose, or oakland airports the cost of these shuttles will be from $40.00-$90.00...
in union square you will find the powell and market st station. here you have access to the cable cars, muni, bus, and bart railway systems. if you are staying for multiple days i would recommend getting a muni pass. it's $10.00 for 3 days, unlimited use of cable cars, muni or bus transportation. note that the 'bart' is not included in the muni pass. once you are on powell and market you'll see an escalator going down. if you take it, and go straight ahead you will find the sf visitor's center with an array of brochures. there are also people there to help answer your questions. ..but the best way of transportation, which most people use..is to walk! you can see a lot of the city just by walking around.
