Public Transit

We encourage you to take public transportation whenever possible to avoid parking fines and ease traffic congestion. Some services require exact fare only (i.e. AC Transit Buses and Campus Shuttle Service). BART and AC Transit buses are used jointly by commuters to come to campus.

BART (Subway)
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) trains operate from Fremont, Richmond, Pittsburg and Millbrae. 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 from the Berkeley campus.

• Get off at the "Downtown Berkeley" station.
• The campus shuttle from Downtown Berkeley is located across from BART at Center & Shattuck in front of Bank of America. The bus stops in front of I-House.

Note: walking from the Berkeley BART station to I-House will take 20-25 minutes and is a gradual uphill incline.

AC Transit
AC Transit bus service provides transportation for commuters to and from San Francisco and throughout Alameda and Western Contra Costa County. There are several AC bus lines that come near the campus area.
