About what is the best time to travel to San Francisco

What is the best time to travel to San Francisco?
I have heard September is the best month but we have time available in April. Would it be worth it to make a trip to SF in April?

San Francisco Is always beautiful, you won't be wasting your money. Is always a little cold even in summer so just be prepared. You'll have a lot of fun
2 :
April is a very nice time to visit. There will still be a bit of chill in the air in the evening, but it's usually cloudless.
3 :
Spring or Fall. I prefer the Spring because things are still green from the rains. I usually visit in May. Summer can be quite cool in SF but the Fall is pleasant. September would be a good month to visit.
4 :
Late September and October are the warmest months, if that's important. But the cold months aren't particularly cold. It's at its greenest/most vibrant in late winter and spring... at its most brown and dehydrated circa late summer and fall. April is a great month to visit. It's just past the rainy season, so should be clear... and all the plants will be green and vibrant and whatnot. Reasonably warm (in the 60s for highs, low 50s for lows). September and October are warmer, but not much (the difference between cold and hot in San Francisco is a difference of about 15 to 20 degrees.
5 :
April is it!!! Sun, warm, the bay sparkles. October is also great.
6 :
yes, april is beautiful. past the rainy season.

About how do I travel from San Francisco to UC Davis by public transportation

How do I travel from San Francisco to UC Davis by public transportation?
Is there a Cal Train or bus that goes there?

I live in Oakland, and there's an Amtrak Station where the Amtrak train goes all the way towards Sacramento and the UC Davis area.
2 :
As Ian said, you take the Amtrak Capitol Corridor train from Oakland. Dont know how to get to the tain station from S.F. Dont know if it stops at Davis. The Cal Train only goes from S.F. to Gilroy. Check with Amtrak. May be easier to get a ride-share from a UC student on Craigslist.
3 :
Take BART to Richmond, the transfer to Amtrak there. They share a station. The Capital Corridor train makes a stop in Davis.
4 :
For answers to this type of question you can use the trip planner located here: http://www.511.org It will get you door to door, all transfers, cost and travel time.
5 :
Take BART to Richmond, then transfer to Amtrak there. go to http://www.bart.gov/index.aspx for Schedules http://www.bart.gov/tickets/calculator/index.aspx for Bart and http://www.capitolcorridor.org/ for Amtrak (Capitol Corridor) get off at Davis Station.
6 :
Amtrak runs buses from SF to the Amtrak station in the East Bay. I know there is a stop in front of the Hyatt Regency (Market & Drumm) and there are other stops around SF. Look at the Amtrak website, probably will give you where the bus stops are and if they cost anything (I know they used to be free, don't know if they now charge for the trip), and what the stop schedule is. Or call Amtrak. Then catch the Amtrak train to Davis. Don't know how close it gets to the campus but it can't be all that far since students come and go all the time.

try target wal mart and kmart

If you need guidebooks, maps, and assorted accessories (money belts, backpacks, etc.), Get Lost is independently owned and a great resource: Get Lost 1825 Market St (at Pearl St) (415) 437-0529 Municipal Metro (L, M and K/T): Church St. For heavy luggage, they are many possibilities. This is a partial listing of stores that are near Downtown transit stations: Edwards Luggage 3 Embarcadero Ctr (415) 981-7047 BART / Municipal Metro (L, M, N, J, and K/T): The Embarcadero Century Luggage 960 Market St (415) 776-5339 BART / Municipal Metro (L, M, N, J, and K/T): Montgomery Street Lugguge World 91 Jefferson St (415) 732-0277 Municipal Metro (F): Pier 39 Barry's Luggage 269 Jefferson St (415) 775-2339 Municipal Metro (F): Jefferson and Beach Hideo Wakamatsu of Tokyo 563 Valencia St (415) 255-3029 BART: 16th Street
3 :
Edwards Luggage in the Embarcadero has a reasonable selection of luggage and travel items, although the luggage is kind of expensive. Macy's has luggage, and is having a sale now. If you have time to do some shopping online, I highly recommend Magellan's for everything, and I mean everything, you might need for travel. You'll find things you didn't realize you needed until you see them. http://www.magellans.com/
4 :
For luggage, try Marshals or Ross. That where my luggage is from. There and Kohls but idk if they are in San Fran.

Flying silly! It's the "safest" way to travel. And LOL you're afraid of flying. Haha. I find that funny.
2 :
Greyhound is faster by 90 min. One route gets there in 3 days, 2 hrs, 30 min. AMTRAK will take 76 hours...3 days, 4 hrs. http://www.greyhound.com/home/ http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak
3 :
if you can bring someone alone, driving by car is the fastest way besides flying. just go non-stop or stop in a motel only when it's necessary. greyhound is the worst way to go. it makes too many stops in too many cities, and the route isn't always a straight route. i look a trip from st. louis to la, and it took 5 days. the guy sitting next to me started in new york, and it took him 2 days just to get to st. louis. same thing with amtrak. too many stops. i don't blame you for not choosing to fly. just being in the air for 6 hours with nothing to do is torture.

About How can I travel from San Jose to San Francisco early on a Sunday morning without driving

How can I travel from San Jose to San Francisco early on a Sunday morning without driving?
I need to get from San Jose to north SF by 9:30 AM on a Sunday, and won't be able to drive there. Unfortunately, the earliest Caltrain on Sunday doesn't get to the SF station until 9:36 AM, and it'll take over an additional half an hour for me to ride the bus from the station to my destination. Is there a quicker/less costly/more convenient way for me to get from San Jose to San Francisco on time than to ride a bus all the way? Thanks!

Those who're stranded by Caltrain can always take the bus over to BART. The system is designed specifically for that. VTA Bus #180 to the Fremont BART station (arrives 8:07 AM) departs from the following locations: San Jose Diridon Caltrain Station 7:21a 1st & Santa Clara 7:26a Civic Center VTA Light Rail Station 7:33a Great Mall of the Bay Area Transit Center 7:43a From Fremont station, board a Richmond bound train (8:15 AM) to BayFair (8:33 AM). Transfer at BayFair (8:45 AM) to a Millbrae bound train. You'll arrive at the four Downtown San Francisco stations between 9:12 AM and 9:17 AM. The fare is $3.50 VTA + $5.25 BART = $8.75 one-way
