Drive to Transit
If you’re driving from the East Bay, North Bay, South Bay, or outside the nine-county Bay Area, consider driving to transit to get to the America’s Cup. Use the 511 Enhanced Trip Planner (beta) to plan a “drive-to-transit” trip and avoid driving into San Francisco. The Enhanced Trip Planner provides a unique side-by-side comparison of using transit, driving, or a combination of both. Learn more.
