BART is the Bay Area's local train system. It now services the San Francisco International Airport. Trains run from 5am – 12 midnight. Service does vary – please check the schedule if you have early or late flights. The cost is $4.70 per person each way.

BART's new SFO station is located on the Departures/Ticketing Level of the International Terminal Main Hall, allowing passengers to exit the rapid transit system and step directly into SFO. The station also links to the Garage G AirTrain stop, providing an easy transfer to SFO's automated people mover system for quick and convenient transportation to all terminals, garages and the Rental Car Center.
