Balboa Park has a BART station. The K, L and M lines of the Muni Metro serve Forest Hill, West Portal. The L line goes to the SF Zoo but the K and M (along with the J) lines terminate at Balboa Park station. Personally, I prefer the Metro over BART due to its cleanliness and frequency of service. I'm not sure about transit in Excelsior but I don't think it is that great.
