Airports
From San Jose Airport
Ground Transportation to the Hotel:
The San
Jose International Airport website offers information on airlines,
shuttles, taxis, and rental car agencies serving the San Jose International
Airport. The hotels are approximately 10-15 min. by taxi from the
airport; rates will run between $14 and $20. See the Airport
Ground Transportation Map for locations of ground transportation
islands for connections to taxis, shuttles, and public transportation.
VTA Buses to the Convention Center:
Take the VTA Route 10 (Airport Flyer) shuttle bus
with the destination sign METRO LIGHT RAIL. The shuttles run every
15 minutes until about 10:00pm, and every 30 minutes from then until
midnight [schedule].
From the final stop, catch the Light Rail at North 1st Street heading
south. (Either Light Rail line - Mountain
View to Winchester or Alum
Rock to Santa Teresa - are fine). Stay on the Light Rail until
it stops in front of the Convention Center on San Carlos St. The
Marriott and the Hilton are closeby.
From San Francisco
Airport
There are several shuttle companies that operate
between San Francisco International Airport and San Jose. It is
best to make an advance reservation.
South and East Bay Shuttle
(408-225-4444 or 1-800-548-4664). Fares are $42 one way for the
first passenger and $6 for each additional passenger.
SuperShuttle (415-558-8500
or 1-800-258-3826) Fares are $38 one way for the first passenger
and $8 for each additional passenger.
A cheaper, though slightly more time-consuming
option is to take BART
from SFO to Millbrae station ($1.50). At Millbrae, get on Caltrain
heading south to San Jose Diridon station ($5.25 for "travel
within any 3 zones"). At San Jose Diridon station, you can
take the Winchester
to Mountain View Light Rail to the Convention Center ($1.75),
or take a taxi or VTA
bus of your choice to other destinations in downtown San Jose.
