![]() They do seem to change the Milbrae/SFO pattern every couple years, but it seems like there’s no real great answers. Thanks for the updates, I’ve been using OAK recently, but will be using SFO again soon so this is useful.Ĭan’t help but think this could’ve been avoided if years ago people didn’t get hung up on “BART direct to SFO” and instead they built an air train out to the main BART line. If I were anywhere between MacArthur and any of the SF stations, I might wait for the other trainĪs for the traffic, yup, although I find that coming home from SFO late afternoon / evening is a lot worse than the morning commute traffic to SFO. (i.e., if I had a large suitcase and rollerbag carry on) and boarded at North Berkeley, and had a seat, I'd probably stay on the train to Millbrae and backtrack. Safe travels, my friends.I did notice the map change on a recent BART ride. BART is a much more reliable way to arrive at SFO on time, and with minimal stress. Traffic in the SF Bay Area is very unpredictable, and crashes/stalls on the Bay Bridge can ruin your air travel day. It can actually be faster to take a slightly later train at your station if that later train goes directly to SFO (extra time waiting for that later train can be less than the extra time going to Milbrae). I plug in my desired arrival time at SFO and work backwards from there. If you see "San Francisco International Airport" on the signs, the train will go to SFO - only question is whether it will first go to Milbrae.Īs I read the maps and schedules, it looks like the Richmond Line (red on the maps) has the Milbrae-SFO trains the Antioch Line (yellow) has the trains going directly to SFO after San Bruno. I was a little concerned that we might bypass SFO again, and then I'd need to backtrack from San Bruno. It added about 10 minutes to the journey - no biggie for me, as I had sufficient time to catch my flight. The train went to Milbrae, stopped for a couple of minutes, and turned around. It then dawned on me that we weren't going to SFO - at least not directly. After the San Bruno Station, I saw SFO to my left, and then a bit behind me to my left. ![]() I boarded a train at North Berkeley Station for "San Francisco International Airport / Milbrae". Last time I took BART to SFO, I was a bit confused.
