TRANSIT FLY Review: At TransitFly.com we regard Oakland International Airport as having excellent transportation options when compared to other airports of similar size. The cornerstone of the transit options at Oakland Airport is definitely the frequent and inexpensive AirBart bus which provides access to both Amtrak and BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) Stations. It is the connection to multiple train transit options that allow passengers from not only Oakland and Eastbay areas, but San Francisco, San Jose and even as far away as Sacramento to access the Oakland Airport without having to drive and with relative ease. |
