Alternatives
Trips between the BART station and Oakland Airport can also be made on AC Transit Route 73. AC Transit is cheaper at $2.10, with additional discounts for those transferring. Route 73 runs every 15 minutes every day, which is less frequent than AirBART. Although Route 73 makes several local stops, total trip time is only slightly longer. The airport connection provided by Route 73 is not emphasized; signage and information is provided to the same degree as the other AC Transit routes serving the station.
Passengers traveling from the Coliseum BART to the airport on Route 73 must board in the "Airport" direction; conversely, passengers going from the airport to Coliseum BART board in the "Eastmount Transfer Center" direction, which is the only boarding option at the airport.
Passengers should be aware that AC Transit buses are not designed to accommodate large amounts of luggage.
AC Transit route 805 is also available late at night, after BART service ends. This route provides service to downtown Oakland, where All Nighter connections are available.

Famous quotes containing the word alternatives:
“The literal alternatives to [abortion] are suicide, motherhood, and, some would add, madness. Consequently, there is some confusion, discomfort, and cynicism greeting efforts to “find” or “emphasize” or “identify” alternatives to abortion.”
—Connie J. Downey (b. 1934)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“The last alternatives they face
Of face, without the life to save,
Being from all salvation weaned
A stag charged both at heel and head:
Who would come back is turned a fiend
Instructed by the fiery dead.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
