Yep you deifnately can by bus, not positive if you can by train or not
2 :
Greyhound has no stops in Alaska. (just searched) Currently prices start at $617 for a plane ticket on Alaska Airlines from SFO to Anchorage
3 :
Bus, yes, just not Greyhound. Alaska Direct Bus Line offers bus services between Anchorage and Whitehorse, Canada (travel time - 16 to 18 hours) and between Fairbanks and Whitehorse (journey time - 13 to 15 hours). From Whitehorse, Greyhound Canada offers connections to Vancouver, British Columbia (journey time - 40 hours 30 minutes). The total travel time from Alaska to the lower 48 States can take up to five days and involve a number of connections.
4 :
Check the price of taking Greyhound to Seattle, and then taking a ferry (boat) from Seattle to Alaska.
5 :
There is not any train service between Canada and Alaska. Fly, boat, or drive.
6 :
Tonalc is correct, Greyhound bus, San Francisco to Seattle $90, Seattle to Vancouver $28, Vancouver to Whitehorse $270, Then Alaska direct busline Whitehouse to Anchorage $230. It take 5 to 6 days to arrive there, it will extremly exhausted. Whitehouse to anchorage line only operates Wed and Sun. So the better and fast way is fly, I got there from SF to ANC for $422 round trip last week. I enjoy AK, glacier and wild animals.It is not that cold now, but many tourist sites is still close. Alaska is pretty expensive.The hotel I stayed was $69 now, will be $129 next month, and $199 June to Aug.

The cheapest way is to become a travel agent and get agent discounts...and get to write it off on your taxes... Let me know if you want to know more...it's so easy! check out my travel site...www.globetrottingspot.com
2 :
Amtrak rail from SF to Bakersfield, then Amtrak bus to Grand Central Station then train again to nearby stops in LA.
3 :
Post on Freecycle that you're looking for a ride. One never knows, do one?
4 :
I think you've got it. I don't think it gets much cheaper than Megabus. Book well in advance and you can score one of those $1 seats :)

greyhound is probably the cheapest way to go. but if you're flying, oakland airport is generally cheaper to fly in and out of.
2 :
How much time can you afford to spend traveling? Amtrak will take several days, and I assume the bus will also take several days. Either way, you are going to be sinking a lot of your time into traveling, and even if it is cheaper than flying (Amtrak is usually the same or even more expensive), not being able to work for several days may not be worth any savings you are getting. I would suggest getting familiar with hunting for bargain air fare. There are websites where you can get great deals on last minute flights, but you will have to be flexible about layovers. Also, look at Oakland and San Jose airports too, to expand your options. If the uncertainty of a last minute flight isn't for you, you may want to opt for a frequent-flyer program, if these still exist. As a frequent flyer, you will be booking flights on one airline and earning points with them that you can use in the future for free flights.
3 :
The train is the most expensive way to travel. The bus can really add up in cost. The airfare route, with a frequent flyer number and a credit card that awards you double frequent flyer awards is best. Southwest Air just announced an entire slew of flights at much lower costs. A number of airlines have run to match. Your best bet is to sign up with a site like Orbitz or Expedia, and research their lowest fare. Then, go to Southwest Airlines site and see what their pricing is. On SWA, if you book 30 days in advance, you can usually get a flight for as low as $39 one way. SWA does have flights in and out of SFO, but the hub is Oakland. Most folks in SF prefer Oakland as it is way more convenient. There are shuttles between the airports as well. Happy Trails!

A pre-arranged shuttle or bus. http://www.flysfo.com/web/page/tofrom/transp-serv/prearr/

Here it is, Mapquest.com will tell you that. Type mapquest.com in any search block. It will give you all the info. Then select point to point driving direction, then finish the ask for info and will give you driving time and exact road to take, road condition and the distances. You will have choice of direct (fastest road or scenic road). ******************** You will need international driving permit or license and credit card and you have to be 25 years or older to rent a car here in USA, but there are few companies that will rent you a car at a very high age surcharge,if you are younger. ************* If you are not and experience driver then do not venture out in a car, take any public transportation (preferred) or even a cab(very expensive).
3 :
THE BEST way to get to San Jose from SFO: you could purchase a pre-owned but low mileage BMW M3 (so that the engine is already broken in) right after you land, especially if you bring enough cash with you for the purchase. I'm sure a Bimmer dealership would be willing to pick you up at the airport if you're doing this. Then take your new M3 up highway 92 and head south on Hwy 35 along the ridgetop (note this is not the most direct route, but it's a great drive in a BMW). Then take Hwy 9 down to Santa Cruz, where you can pick up Hwy 17 and head to San Jose.

Both San Franscisco and San Diego are in the US. As long as you don't plan on crossing the border into Mexico when you are in San Diego, you won't need a passport. No US citizen needs a passport to go from a US city to another US city.
2 :
You will only need a passport if you plan on taking the loooooooooooooong way to San Diego, like through Canada or Mexico.... :)
3 :
San Fran to SD isnt even crossing state borders. You only need a passport to cross international borders. When flying to different cities in the same state or country...a passport isnt necissary.
4 :
dont think so your still in the US.
5 :
as long as you remain within the us you do not need a passport.
6 :
Not unless you plan to visit both cities by detouring through a foreign country. Your government issued picture ID (drivers license for example) is just fine for getting onto any public transportation system (plane, train, car rental, bus, etc).
