The interstate 380 crosses the U.S.-Highway 101 north of the airport and provides more connections within the region. The extension of the Bay Area Rapid Transit Systems to the airport was opened omn 22nd June 2003 allowing passengers at the airport to change directly into the trains of the high-speed BART line, which serves the San Francisco area along with other destinations in the Bay Area Region. The AirTrain Shuttle System was also taken into operation in 2003 and transports air passengers in small automated trains between the terminals, car parks, the BART station and the car rental terminals at the airport. At Millbrae station it is also possible to change for Caltrain local trains going to San José and San Francisco, SamTrans-Buses serve the rest of the peninsular.
