 +  * Bike
 +     * There are lots of places to get a bike: local co-ops (e.g. The Missing Link Bike Shop), used/secondhand (e.g. Craigslist, people moving out of the area selling their stuff), a traditional bike/sports store (Mike's Bikes, REI, Sports Basement, etc.) or big box store (e.g. Target).
 +     * [[bike_advice|General advice]] for biking safely and avoiding bike theft.
 +     * [[http://pt.berkeley.edu/around/bike|License]] your bike on campus
  
 +  * [[https://www.bart.gov/|BART]] around the Bay Area. Very convenient for getting to the airport (there are trains that go directly to both Oakland OAK and San Francisco SFO).
 +
 +  * [[https://pt.berkeley.edu/BearTransit|Bear Transit]] close to campus
 +
 +  * [[http://www.actransit.org|AC Transit]] -- get a [[http://pt.berkeley.edu/transportation_alternatives/classpass/index.html|Class Pass]] to ride for free. 
 +
 +  * Walk! Berkeley is a very walkable city.
 +
 +  * Car: approximately 1/3 of grad students have a car. Which means 2/3 of the grad students don't, and it's pretty easy to get around without one. If you do have a car, some apartments might charge you (usually $50-$100/month) for a parking spot. [[https://berkeleyca.gov/city-services/parking/residential-preferential-parking-permits|You can also get a residential parking pass to park overnight on the street in Berkeley.]] [[https://pt.berkeley.edu/StudentParking|There are also parking permits needed for campus.]] If you don't have a car but need to drive, there are options like ZipCar or Gig Car Share.
 +
 +  * Other options less common are mopeds (popular with undergrads) and motorcycles.
