Oddly, most Americans won't (take BART) Actually, BART is fine if your only venture outside of your destination inside SF proper is the airport (which is actually in the next county). But most visitors here with any optional time will want to venture out and will often get a rental vehicle because of that (beach, redwoods, wine country are all within an hour's drive, good camping within 2 hours, and skiing within 4 hours). Also, BART doesn't go to/from the SF airport all hours.
