Just follow the signs to AirTrain and board the Red Line train to the BART station and purchase your BART ticket. If you have pre purchased your ticket online take the Blueline train to the International Terminal – G stop, exit the AirTrain there, walk to the right and take the escalator down to the Information/BART Voucher Desk, next to the escalator. Exchange your ticket voucher for a BART ticket at the desk and proceed to the BART station to catch the train to your destination.
