运输 Basics: How to Get to San Francisco from SJC

诺曼人的Y. Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) is located at the northern end of San Jose, 101号公路, 880号州际公路, 与87号高速公路相交. SJC is the smallest airport in the Bay Area despite being located in the most populous city. While it is 47 miles away from San Francisco, you do have a few options that will take you to San Francisco.

Caltrain

Get from the San Jose Airport to the Santa Clara Caltrain Station. One option is taking Airport Flyer - VTA Route #10

The Airport Flyer makes a continuous loop between the Metro Light Rail Station, the Santa Clara Caltrain Station and the Airport Terminals. A new shuttle departs each designated stopping point approximately every 15-30 minutes from 5 a.m. 到晚上11:30.m. 单程票价是2美元.

There are two stops in the city: 22nd Street and Fourth Street. 两者都在一区. Allow a minimum of 60 minutes to arrive in San Francisco and occasionally the trip might take a few more minutes. .

Caltrain fares are based on the number of zones that are partially or wholly traveled through by the passenger. Full fares will apply to all customers 19 years of age or older except those who qualify for an Eligible Discount ticket, which is approximately 50 percent of the full-fare price. Prices for all destinations within Zone 1 are less than $5. The price depends on age and whether or not one has a Clipper card. Clipper cards work for the shuttle, BART and Muni depending on the plan that is purchased. They may be purchased through all transit systems honoring the card as well as through local retailers such as Walgreens.
