Once on the BART train platform at SFO Airport Station, board an Antioch train towards downtown San Francisco and exit at Powell St.

From Oakland (OAK) Airport: Go to the new BART station across from Terminal 1 and board the train to the Coliseum station. When you arrive there, get a $20.40 RT San Francisco ticket. Then exit at the fare gate and walk down to the main train platform. Proceed to the right side of the platform and take any San Francisco bound train to the Powell St. Station (1 ½ blocks away from hotel). The total trip downtown takes 30-40 minutes. The ticket has enough value for your ride back to OAK.
