Friendly cab(I think they have a direct line to them from the front desk, if your talking about the Fedex ramp), last year, was either $10 or $12 to get to the terminal, then "Air Bart" to the Bart station($3, I think), then BART to SFO(about $6). Been over a year since I've done it, took about 1+45 to get from the Oakland FDX ramp to SFO, good luck.

New question. A few years back on this site I got a great link to search airline schedules. I have not used it for some time and can not remember the web site. I think it was a site for non-rev travel or jumpseaters. It was great for plugging in a departure city and arrival city and getting all possible combinations. My last laptop took a dump and I lost the link. My bad, should have written it down. Please help.

Disreguard. My old brain finally kicked in and I remembered passrider.com. However, this site seems to have some virus problems. In addition, it redirects you to flightlookup.com for the schedules I was looking for.

MK, if you work for the fedex you can either ride the 26 reposition flight from OAK to SFO or you can ride on a CTV (big old truck) to the SFO ramp.
I rode the CTV once,...make sure that your bladder is empty before you leave OAK! From SFO get a taxi or a hotel van. Hope this helps.

Sure, the easiest way would be to catch the BART bus at the KOAK terminal to the Coliseum BART Station. You can ride the BART all the way to KSFO. A whole lot cheaper than a cab if this is on your own dime.

You can also see if some of the shared vans are going to KSFO, these again may be cheaper than a cab if you have to pay.

There is a free shuttle that leaves every 15 mins from the FDX ramp to the OAK Bart station and vice versa. The last time I used checked it was a red bus operated by one of the local park-and-ride companies. Take the Green or Blue line from the OAK station and transfer anywhere after the West Oakland station to the Yellow line. That will take you to the SFO terminal station. It costs approximately $3.

Just did the OAK-SFO via Bart.
$3.00 for Airbart from OAK to the Coliseum
$6.05 from Coliseum to SFO. Only have to transfer once at Balboa Park. It is even on the same track, just have to wait for the train that goes to SFO. It took 1hr 45 min.
