Does anyone have experiences of the best options for transit from SJC to San Francisco itself off the back of the BA flight? We will have one checked bag each.
Options we are considering:
- Super Shuttle
- Uber
- Some sort of private transfer
We looked at Caltrain but it doesn't look feasible with checked luggage.
Are you arriving on a weekday or weekend? Big difference....
If you are OK with spending $80 or so, Uber/Lyft will be the most convenient and if you are arriving on a weekend traffic will not be that bad.
If you are arriving on a weekday, just wait until about 7-7:30 PM before heading up and you will also be reasonable fine. Have them take 280 if you want a more peaceful ride.
Frankly, after a long flight the last thing I would want to do is have to deal with transferring to a train station, take the train up, then have to find a taxi to get me to the hotel.
If it was me, I would consider to rent a car, stop off to have dinner in San Jose, then drive up to the hotel afterwards with minimal traffic and drop off the car at a city location (due to the hour you will have to keep the car overnight and drop off the next day).
