Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: Transportation to, from, and around San Francisco
Six bridges connect to the San Francisco Bay. The most well known is the Golden Gate Bridge. Other bridges are the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, the Hayward-San Mateo Bridge, and the Dumbarton Bridge. To alleviate traffic congestion there is an underwater tunnel system where part of the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) runs through. The BART makes stops in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Fremont, and Walnut Creek. It has a direct connection to San Francisco's international airport (SFO). Other airports include Oakland International Airport (OAK), Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC), and Charles M. Schulz - Sonoma County Airport (STS). There are also many bus transit agencies servicing the area.
