After you exit the terminal at SFO, you'll have to take the train to the Bart station. I think it's 1 stop if you're on UA. After you exit, you'll see the BART ticket machines. I hate those machines. If I recall, they don't accept AMEX. Also, IIRC, you have to put your credit card in the machine differently than you normally do.

I now buy a card with additional fare loaded so that I can avoid those dreadful machines. They're not friendly to the 3x a year user.

I'm all about automation, but those BART ticket machines are poorly designed. Took me a few to realize that you swipe your card before selecting your ticket / price. Totally backwards. Have never seen an automated ticket machine set up quite that way.
