For those traveling from the Bay Area
by Patrick HavensI know that most in the Bay Area have at one time or other taken one of the Mass Transit services. But I figured to post some links, since I just spent a bit today debating different options to get to the Dinner tonight, and the Conference this weekend.
Luckily the Swedish American Hall is close to both a BART station (like 3-4 blocks) and a MUNI trolley stop is also right out in front. And for the dinenr at the Ferry Building, the Ferries of course drop off right there, plus there are a multitude of other options from MUNI, CALTRAIN & BART (to Embarcadero and walk down) besides the FERRY. So below are some links if you want to see what works for you.

Of course a good main source of transit options.
BART: http://www.bart.gov
So far the cheapest way to get around the Bay Area, it is also the fastest in some cases
FERRIES - A lot drop right off at the Ferry Building, its nice an relaxed.
Alameda Harbor Bay Ferry
Alameda/Oakland Ferry
Angel Island/Tiburon Ferry
Blue & Gold Fleet
Golden Gate Ferry
Vallejo Baylink Ferry

San Francisco has a number of trolleys (of different types) running all over, so you should be able to connect multiple services very easy.
Finally as a side, if anyone from the North Bay was planning on taking BART, speak up.

Unfortunately, I can’t get into the Bay Area until like 10AM Saturday. I’m flying into Oakland so I can take the train across into the City - thanks for the links.

Actually, if you’re coming from the Peninsula, Caltrain is probably a cheaper alternative. Take Caltrain to the San Francisco 4th & King, then transfer to the Muni Metro T-Outbound (do NOT take the N). Get off at the Church station, then walk half a block southwest.
