This is great for before 7AM flights out of SFO / SJC, where public transit is not an option.

So how does one get from Millbrae to SFO if the BART is not running? (asks the occasional visitor)

SamTrans Route 397. http://www.samtrans.com/schedulesandmaps/timetables/397.html

Catch is you have to pick it up around 4 AM and get to the airport that early, but if you're not flying until 7, maybe you can snooze in the airport for a bit...

Super shuttle is a popular and econimical option. Or you just call a cab. At that hour it's $35 before tip.

I used to live down El Camino Real from the Millbrae station. It should be closer to $15-20.

FYI, bart starts running at 4am, and google maps is pretty good at giving public transit direction in the bay area. the only caveat is to choose when you want to arrive as opposed to depart (duh), and if you plan to drive part way, choose the start to be where you start taking public transit.

BART starts running at 4 AM - but that's at the terminus, which is Pittsburg for trains going to SFO. The first train doesn't get to the airport until about 5:30.

(I know this from a painful morning where my wife missed a 6 AM flight.)

UberX is a pretty good option for that, although it's a pretty short fare for the driver.

It's a $15 (10min) taxi ride from the Milbrae station to the airport arrival terminal of your choice, if you take one of the cabs that's at the taxi stand (which I've used, and never seen empty.)

[madcaptenor]

But will there be taxis there when the trains aren't running?

The 192 or the KX also...except maybe those don't start running until later.
