Public Transit and Transfer Options
Public transit between Vallejo and OAK involves connecting services, with The Vine’s route directions differing by day of the week. The Vine describes these routes in the direction from Vallejo to OAK; check the current service details before planning the reverse trip.
Monday through Saturday
The Vine’s directions call for Route 29 to El Cerrito del Norte BART, then BART’s Orange Line to Coliseum Station, followed by the Beige Line—the Oakland Airport Connector—from Platform 3 to the airport. From OAK, the connector links the airport with Coliseum BART Station, where the BART connection continues.
Sunday
The Vine’s Sunday directions use Route 11 to Vallejo Transit Center, SolanoExpress Route R to El Cerrito del Norte, and BART’s Orange Line to Coliseum, followed by the Beige Line to the airport. The different route means the day you travel matters when arranging connections.
The Vine says Route 11 connects with Greyhound at Vallejo Transit Center Monday through Sunday. For a wider look at local travel once you arrive, the Vallejo guide to walking, transit and driving covers those options.
Allowing for Traffic and Flight Timing
The 45-minute drive is a reported travel time, not a guarantee for your departure day. For a flight, leave room in your schedule for the drive or for the connections in a transit itinerary; the listed BART connector wait and trip duration cover only that airport-to-Coliseum segment.
BART’s service hours are weekdays from 5 a.m. to midnight, Saturdays from 6 a.m. to midnight, and Sundays from 8 a.m. to midnight. Check the official site before you go, since service hours, fares and connections can affect your plan.
The Final Leg to Vallejo
Vallejo city centre is about 10 minutes on foot or about 2 minutes by car from Vallejo Inn. Vallejo City Center is a useful destination to plan separately from the airport transfer.
