Around the San Francisco Bay by Public Transportation
Yesterday, I took my kids on a train-and-ferry trip around the San Francisco Bay (well, around the southern half of it really). This is quite a fun afternoon trip if your children (or maybe just you yourself) like trains and boats. Here’s the schedule that worked out for us - for our timing and place of origin (Mountain View), a counter-clockwise routing worked better…
Schedule:
Mountain View dp 11:37a Caltrain #240 San Jose ar 12:00n San Jose dp 12:30p Amtrak #534 Oakland - Jack London Square ar 1:43p Walk to Ferry Terminal Oakland - Ferry Terminal dp 2:30p Oakland / Alameda Ferry San Francisco - Ferry Building ar 3:00p take Muni N line to Caltrain Depot San Francisco - Caltrain dp 4:09p Caltrain #362 Mountain View ar 4:51p
Notes:
- you’ll have to buy a separate ticket for every leg of the trip
- this schedule only works on weekdays
This schedule should be adaptable for any location between San Francisco and SanJose - just board the #240 train at whatever station you start. Note that #362is a baby bullet, but you can always take a different train on the last leg -there are plenty of options there.
Oh, hereare some pictures from the trip.
