BART travels through downtown Oakland, to the Oakland Airport and south to Fremont, where Silicon Valley meets the East Bay. You may also travel across the Bay to San Francisco and as far south as Colma and Daly City where you can catch a bus to the San Francisco Airport. Construction has started on the BART extension to the San Francisco Airport but that won't be operational until the year 2000, if we're lucky. Everybody whines about BART, especially since BART labor's long and greedy strike last summer. It provides information on BART fares, system maps, BART news, Bikes on BART program and other public affairs stuff.
Many students also take the bus to campus.
You can get more bus information from AC Transit , Alameda County Transit. If you must drive to campus, here is some information on parking. Parking on or near campus can be difficult to find and the City of Berkeley loves to give parking tickets. If you decide to park on City streets, do so with caution and pay close attention to the posted parking regultaions. You may also choose to purchase a parking permit from the Univeristy's Parking Services, which allows you to park near campus if you are willing to pay for it and if you live far enough from campus.
