AirTrain (SFO) - Lines and Stations

Lines and Stations

AirTrain operates on two lines—Red Line and Blue Line—both of which run every 2½ minutes. The Red Line travels in a clockwise loop, beginning with Garage G station and ending with Garage A station, which takes about 9 minutes to complete. The Blue Line travels in a counterclockwise loop, serving the same stations in reverse order, and also proceeding to West Field Road and the Rental Car Center, which takes 19 minutes for a round trip.

Alternatively, passengers may walk around the terminal loop instead of riding AirTrain, which takes about 25 minutes by foot; however, passengers must ride AirTrain to access the Rental Car Center.

AirTrain does not provide access to SFO's long-term parking garage and lots; instead, passengers must take a free shuttle bus between the airport terminals and the long-term parking areas. The end of the track past the Rental Car Center station is only about six hundred yards away from the airport's long-term parking garage, and the system may be extended to the garage in the future if the funds necessary for construction can be raised.

SFO's AirTrain is free of charge.

Famous quotes containing the words lines and/or stations:

    “Was seiz’d by the spirit that trails in the lines underfoot,
    The rim, the sediment that stands for all the water and all the land
    of the globe.

    Fascinated, my eyes reverting from the south, dropt, to follow those slender windrows,
    Chaff, straw, splinters of wood, weeds, and the sea-gluten,
    Scum, scales from shining rocks, leaves of salt-lettuce, left by the tide,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “After I was married a year I remembered things like radio stations and forgot my husband.”
    —P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
