The airport, the ground game, and whether you need a car for a business trip to Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)’s the Bay Area headquarters — from our verified where-to-stay data.

Which airport for Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)

OAK ~15 min · SFO ~30 min (BART). Three airports for one sprawling region. SFO connects to the city and East Bay by BART; Oakland (OAK) has a BART connector; San Jose (SJC) sits in Silicon Valley but has no direct BART. Pick by whether you are headed to San Francisco or down the Peninsula — very different trips.

The ground reality in the Bay Area

The Bay splits in two. For San Francisco and the East Bay, BART from SFO or Oakland is genuinely useful. For Silicon Valley — Santa Clara, San Jose, Mountain View, Cupertino, Palo Alto — it is car country: Caltrain runs the Peninsula near stations, but most Valley campuses are spread across suburban parks off the rail lines, so a rental is the norm. SJC is closest to the Valley; SFO has the most flights.

Getting to Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)

For Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) specifically, Downtown Oakland, by Lake Merritt points you toward a rental — Silicon Valley’s campuses are spread out and mostly off the rail (Caltrain only near stations).
