San Francisco Airport First in the U.S. to Reach Deals With Uber, Lyft

I'm going to SF next week. What's the best way to get to the centre? I have a Uber account for London.

If you are going downtown, take the BART. It costs about USD $9 to take from the airport, runs frequently, picks up inside the airport, and takes you straight in to downtown.

Land at SFO. Get on the BART subway. That's it. You are done, it goes right from SFO to the center of the city. Some people are too lazy to walk around the circle of the airport and use the AirBART train to get to the BART stop at the airport, although personally I find it easier and quicker to just walk.

FYI, what you call AirBART is actually AirTrain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirTrain_(San_Francisco_Interna..., which you can also use to get a rental car or to go to the parking garage.

AirBART is the shuttle bus service between OAK and BART. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirBART

If you're flying into the international terminal (which sounds like the case here), it's right next to the BART station anyway.

Strictly speaking, incorrect.

Nashville airport was the first in September. They even proactively created a ride share symbol.

What was the symbol?

I was super tempted to photoshop the iOS share icon with wheels and post it.

And they were the first to ban and harass the companies too. Kind of silly they are trying to sound friendly now when other places have always just let them be.

This is great! Now these companies can become the new government-granted oligopoly that tries to use regulation to block future "disruptive" competition, and the complaint cycle can start anew!

What a scam. The airports should be providing car access as a service to their customers, not double dipping and charging drivers for the privilege of driving over their land.
