i dont know if you can take a train over the panama canal if u go make sure to not drink the water and wear bug spray
2 :
Not directly. You can travel by train, but you will have to drive or take a bus to the next train area. It would take a great deal of time for you to accomplish this, as the train is not the best mode of transportation to South America.
3 :
I am pretty sure that there is no trains that travel even as far as Guatemala. Some of the other central american countries each have some railroad networks but they are not connected. In any case, they are not widely used for transprotation even in Mexico, busses are faster and more widely used. The railroad networks in central america are largely from the banana growing regions to the ports and are not for passengers. As for bus or car transport the road has a gap between Panama and Columbia about 200 miles south of the canal in a dense swamp/jungle.
4 :
No, you can't, not all countries have trains.
5 :
No. In between Panama and Colombia there's a huge stretch of jungle that blocks traffic. You'd have to take a boat from Panama to Cartagena. and then continue the journey south.

About How long does it take to travel from transby terminal to san francisco airport

How long does it take to travel from transby terminal to san francisco airport?
I'm arriving in San Francisco by greyhound bus, and need to get to the San Francisco International Airport. I am traveling on a Saturday. Does anyone know how much taxi fare would be or the best public transportation route would be? Car rentals are not an option. Thanks!

Transit: Walk to Market Street (2 blocks up Fremont Street) and take the subway. 35 Minutes. Costs $5.15. Taxi: 25-30 Minutes. Costs approx. $40.00 + tip. Given the cost differences, I'd take public transit and save all that money.
2 :
PS the public transit system referred to in the first post is called BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and you'll know you're above a station when see signs that say "ba" on Market Street. You will have to buy a magnetic striped ticket from the machines which you use to enter and exit the system. Once you get down to the platform you want a train that says San Francisco Airport or Millbrae. The other trains don't go there. Trains only come every 20 minutes on Saturday. Hope this all helps.
3 :
GO TO MARKET STREET AND GET ON THE BART TRAIN... GET ON THE MILLBRAE IT WILL RUN EVERY 20 MIN... ONCE YOU GET ON THE BART IT WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT 15 TO 20 MIN TO GET THERE... FARE IS ABOUT $5.15
4 :
I've taken a taxi from Transbay Terminal to SFO and it costs you between $50 to $75 depending on the route. If you are going to take a taxi, tell the driver to go turn left on 5th street and get on 101 South straight down to South San Francisco - SFO. It will only take less than 15 minutes from the moment you get on the Freeway to SFO. http://yellowcab.com If you are going to take the bus (Samtrans), it will cost you $1.50. The Samtran bus leaves from Transbay Terminal and it is Bus #292 and it goes to SFO. It will take one hour and 15 minutes. http://www.samtrans.com/pdf/Maps/Route_292_6_22_03_MAP.pdf If you are going to take BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), you can walk one block West to Market Street and take BART from Montgomery BART Station. The BART fare will be $5.15 and it will take 32 minutes. http://www.bart.gov Good luck on your trip. 20 years in SF.

About Is it possible to travel from San Francisco to Madras, India without flying

Is it possible to travel from San Francisco to Madras, India without flying?
I know it is technically possible, I know it is possible if I owned my own yacht or freighter. But I am just an ordinary middle class guy with a lot of time and a few 10s of thousands to dollars. Can it be done as a series of sea and land based travels?

It's possible. Have you checked with your local travel agent? It seems like it would be time consuming though.

About Travel from San Francisco to Patterson CA

Travel from San Francisco to Patterson CA?
My hubby wants to visit his Aunt next week while we're in San Francisco. Is our only option to rent a car and drive to Patterson? Is Patterson near any of the wildfires going on at the moment? Is there any type of public transportation (train, bus etc). I believe it's approximately 80 miles one-way. Thank you for any info provided.

Your best bet is to rent a car. The whole valley is a bit smokey right now, but no real fire issues. If you wait till the weekend the wind will change and the air will be better. Have fun.

definetly not flying! I would try greyhound or amtrak. I love the train, that is a fun, pleasant way to travel. They have a snack cart and tables and all kinds of ways to relax and not be crammed in some airline seat next to the old sweaty fat guy with no food service. lol...
2 :
By Train or a charter bus. The train is a little bit more expensive but it's better
3 :
Amtrak's regular fare is $69.00. Greyhound's regular fare is $60.35. The only cheaper way is hitchhiking.
4 :
if you can make your way to LA, there's a super cheap bus that runs up to SF: starting at $25. http://www.cashuttlebus.com/
5 :
The bus is cheap if you're only doing a one-way trip. It's about $130 round trip, which is about what you'd pay for a round trip airline ticket with a two-week advance purchase. Bus=8-10 hours Plane=1 hour You decide.
