How do I get from the airport to SF Sketchfest?

The short answer

BART runs from SFO's International Terminal to downtown San Francisco in about 30 minutes, and the free AirTrain links every terminal to the station. Take a Yellow Line or Red Line train to one of the four downtown stations, tapping a contactless bank card, phone or Clipper card at the gates. The first train leaves SFO at 4:58am on weekdays, 5:47am on Saturdays and 8:08am on Sundays, and service runs until midnight. Fares go by distance.
