Bus
From the Daly City BART station, take SamTrans bus 110 to the Linda Mar Park and Ride in Pacifica. On WEEKDAYS, take SamTrans bus 294 from Pacifica to Highway 1 and 16th Street. Tell the driver where you are going, as 16th Street is not an automatic stop. Walk north 1/2 block on Highway 1; the hostel is on your left. On WEEKENDS, take SamTrans bus 17 from Pacifica to Main and 7th Streets. Walk south on Main (which becomes a pedestrian path) to 16th Street and carefully cross the highway onto the hostel driveway.
Parking
Free parking is available at the hostel on a first-come first-served basis.
