Parking is limited at the Berkeley campus! Whenever possible, we encourage you to use public transportation.

When using public transportation it is good to have lots of change. Some services offer exact fare only (e.g. AC Transit Buses and Campus Shuttle Service).

BART

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Trains operate from Fremont, Richmond, Bay Point/Concord and San Francisco/Daly City. A map indicating the route and stops of each train is located at each station. The Berkeley BART station is just 1-1/2 blocks west of the Berkeley campus.

Example:
From San Francisco: Board BART and transfer at the 12th Street or MacArthur station to a Richmond train or for direct passage, board a Richmond train in San Francisco (refer to BART maps).
