How much will it cost to take a train from L.A. going to San Francisco and how long. can i have the full info?

Answer 1

Trail service between Southern and Northern California is Fast, frequent and reasonable in price! Amtrak basically offers 3 choices; The most cost effective would be the San Joaquin route which travels through the central valley (Fresno etc) requiring a short bus connection from Bakersfield to Los Angeles on the south end. The Central Coast Pacific Surfliner which travels through Santa Barbra requiring a short bus connection on the north end from San Luis Obispo to the bay area. And the last option is the Coast Starlight which is a once daily through train all the way through the state. More detailed info can be found at either www.amtrakcalifornia.com or just amtrak.com Good luck!

Answer 3

well techinally the train doesnt go to San Francisco

the trains go to Oakland or emeryville and you have to take

a bus over the Oakland-bay bridge to San Francisco

Amtrak has two trains from southern California

to the bay area

one is the San Joaquin train  (which really starts in Bakersfield

you have to take another Bus from LA union station to Bakersfield

to connect to that train..

now Amtrak also operated  the starlight  which does

orginate in Los Angeles  which opeates along coast

to Oakland -(it contiunes to Sacramento and terminates in Seattle.

unfortunelly due to UP Dispatching it tends to run late

so thats why its  nickname is starlate, sometimes it has

run over 3 to 5 hours late..

but otherwise its a fun trip

great scencery along the coast..

as well

allow at least 10 hours..
