Ground Transportation & Maps

Stanford is roughly equal distance from San Jose and San Francisco airports.

Sam Trans' Route KX might be the cheapest way to get to and from San Francisco International Airport. That bus stops in front of the Stanford Shopping Center on El Camino Real. The Stanford shuttle, called Marguerite, connects there. Caltrain and BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) connect at the Millbrae station and for an additional fee, there are BART trains that run directly to the airport. More information about public transportation from the Oakland, San Jose and San Francisco airports is available through the websites: http://www.samtrans.org/ or http://www.transitinfo.org/ or http://transportation.stanford.edu/alt_transportation/BayAreaTransit.shtml

A number of private companies also provide shuttle transportation from the San Francisco and San Jose airports, and taxis serve the Stanford campus from both locations.

For additional questions or trip planning assistance, please call the Bay Area Transit Information Hotline by dialing 511 from within the San Francisco Bay Area or (510) 817-1717 from outside the San Francisco Bay Area.

Stanford Parking & Transportation Services (P&TS) is also available if you need assistance planning your trip. They can talk you through the best route - from your front door to campus. Contact the P&TS office at 723-9362, email at transportation@stanford.edu. More information. SFO Airport – Another website for information on ground transportation, etc.
