Definitely Uber.

I have used Supershuttle in the past; it's fine if everything is on time, but once, my flight was late (around 1:30am) and they refused to send a shuttle until 4:30am, even with confirmed reservation.

No point in the risk.

Similarly would suggest avoiding Supershuttle - I've had good experiences with them in other cities, but the exact same thing happened to me at SFO when my flight arriving around midnight got delayed, and I got stuck footing a taxi bill. Lyft or Uber is probably your best bet!

Uber, lyft, or taxi from SFO to downtown. Safe travels! And it'll be super easy.

After BART stops running, SamTrans bus 292 will take you downtown from the airport. I believe last pickup is at 1 AM or so. It will take you to Market street, and the F Market streetcar should still be running at that time. However that late at night, jumping in a taxi or calling an Uber will probably be faster and easier.

Don't even bother thinking about Super Shuttle. Uber may be marginally more expensive, but it is completely flexible. The last thing you need to worry about when you are late is whether Super Shuttle will meet you or whether you will be the last stop.

I think it's genuine YMMV overall. I've had some great and fair uber drives in SF but I'll use it as much as needed. Cab apps just don't get fast results so I only use uber instead of cabs in sf city unless I can hail one before opening the uber app.

I've had both great and fair taxis at SFO, with a mix of drivers. Despite higher cost, I tend to only use taxis at SFO because taxi lines move fast and the taxi captains have been very efficient with keeping the taxi lines moving fast.
