San Francisco International Airport is a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station on the Dublin/Pleasanton Line located inside San Francisco International Airport.
The station is located on level 3 next to Parking Garage G. There are two entrances and exits – one on level 3, adjacent to the grand foyer off the north side of the International Terminal; and the other is a level up at the Garage G/BART AirTrain station.
The station is configured as a terminal station. Trains enter from an elevated wye from the west side of Highway 101. There are three tracks and corresponding bay platforms. BART traffic to and from SFO, even during peak hours, has not been as great as was anticipated when construction commenced, so only the two outer tracks are currently used – one for Milbrae-bound trains and the other for San Francisco/East Bay-bound trains. The middle track will be put into service at such time as BART traffic to and from the airport necessitates it. On 01 January, 2008, BART will suspend[2] direct connections between the SFO station and Millbrae, forcing passengers that either board at or connect from Caltrain at Millbrae to ride to San Bruno and transfer to an Airport bound train.
Service at this station began on June 22, 2003. [1]
