AirBART

AirBART is a shuttle bus service that connects the Bay Area Rapid Transit's Coliseum/Oakland Airport station with Oakland International Airport (OAK). Buses stop at street level just outside the station and at the front of each terminal, and arrive roughly every fifteen minutes. A ride costs $2 and, depending on traffic, takes ten to fiifteen minutes.

Passengers can save some money by taking the AC Transit Line 50, which also serves the same destinations. The cost for that route is $1.50. To speed up boarding, AirBART requires fares to be prepaid at machines instead of on the bus, thus discouraging individuals from simply taking the first bus that comes.

BART currently plans to build a people-mover/">people mover connecting Colisuem/Oakland Airport station with the Oakland Airport terminals; revenue service is scheduled to begin by 2010. This connector will replace the current bus service; it's not clear if it will keep the AirBART name.
