- Yolobus:
The cheapest alternative is to take Yolobus. For $1.50 the
#42B (counter-clockwise) bus will take you to the UCD Union or downtown
Davis.
The Oakland (OAK) and San Francisco (SFO)
airports
are also options for people who wish to visit the Bay Area as well as
Davis. If your trip itinerary does not include the Bay Area, however,
then SMF is the best option for commercial air travel to Davis. Amtrak
trains are available from Oakland and San Francisco.

From the Bay Area you will want to take
interstate 80 heading to east towards Sacramento. The Davis is about 60
miles East of Berkeley. You will reach Davis before getting to
Sacramento. If you are going straight to UC Davis, then take the exit
marked " UC Davis " immediately after the exit for highway 113 North.
If
you are going to downtown Davis, take the next exit, marked " Downtown
Davis " . Expect your driving time from Berkeley to Davis to
be one hour
and fifteen minutes.
Train
There is an Amtrak stop within walking
distance of campus. Tickets from the Bay Area cost approximately $30
round trip. If you are flying into San Francisco, Amtrak is the best
way to get to Davis. From SFO take BART to Richmond. Exit BART and then
take the stairs or elevator up to the Amtrak platform. The Richmond
station is unstaffed so Amtrak tickets can be purchased from a machine
in the BART station or on board the train.
