San Francisco's Bay Area Rail Transit is a convenient way to get to and from the SFO international airport. The journey takes little more than half an hour and at just US$8.95 it is also very cheap. I remember there was a lot of publicity when it was being built in the 1960s, especially in terms of its engineering feat in an area highly prone to earthquakes.
We took the BART from Powell station, which is just round the corner from our hotel at Marriott Marquis. When we bought the ticket with credit card at the ticket machine, we quickly found that we had to pay in round dollars, and with taxes it came to US$10. Still cheap.
The train came on time and was fast, but the noise level rivals that of Moscow subway.
