<p>Can I take the BART from SFO directly to Rockridge? I can never find the bus back to unit 1 from downtown Berkeley so Rockridge is better since there's a bus to go straight back to unit 1!</p>
<p>Anyone done this before? I dont want to try then get lost :(!</p>
<p>It’s actually easier.</p>
<p>SFO->Berkeley = SFO -> ~50min of stations / tunnel -> timed transfer at MacArthur -> Ashby, Berkeley</p>
<p>SFO->Rockridge = SFO -> ~50min of stations / tunnel -> wait at MacArthur -> Rockridge is the next station</p>
<p>However, you really should learn the bus system.</p>
<p>Downtown Berkeley: 51B (towards Rockridge BART) and 49 <em>clockwise</em> get you to Unit 1
Rockridge: 51B (towards Downtown Berkeley BART) and 49 <em>counter clockwise</em> gets you to Unit 1, 49 <em>clockwise</em> also does the same but takes close to an hour</p>
<p>Or, you can just walk from Downtown Berkeley to Unit 1 – 20min, great exercise.</p>
<p>SFO -> Rockridge: Get on a Pittsburg / Bay Point train. Get off at Rockridge.</p>
<p>SFO -> Downtown Berkeley: Get on a Pittsburg / Bay Point train. At 19th Street in Oakland, get off and get on a Richmond train, which is usually across the platform for a timed transfer. Get off at Downtown Berkeley.</p>
<p>The bus from Downtown Berkeley to Unit 1 is the SAME bus that goes from Rockridge to Unit 1, just in opposite directions. In fact you walk less when you take the bus from downtown berkeley.</p>
<p>But yes, the BART ride itself is more convenient from SFO to Rockridge. Take Pittsburg/Bay Point (the yellow one).</p>
