The last ferry from San Francisco back to Jack London Square
is 6:30 PM. If I miss this ferry can I take BART back to
Jack London Square. If so what stations, and is the
station in Oakland safe late at night ( 9pm) ?
Thanks for your help.

One more question, Ferry to Jack London Square.
You can take BART back from Oakland. You will need to walk from 3rd and Broadway to 12th and Broadway to catch BART (12th Street station). At 6:30 p.m. nowadays, it%26#39;s fine. It%26#39;s plenty light out. At 9 p.m., I%26#39;d be more cautious, particularly walking under the freeway. You can take a cab to go the short distance. They can always call you a cab at Scott%26#39;s Seafood Restaurant.
You can also take the #72m Castro %26amp; Tewskbury bus, (AC Transit) which picks up on the NE corner of Broadway and the Embarcadero, and goes past 12th and Broadway. transit.511.org%26#39;s trip planner says it takes 23 minutes including wait time at that hour of the night. Fare is $1.75.

One more question, Ferry to Jack London Square.
Ah, I just noticed from your previous post that you are thinking of staying at the Waterfront Plaza Hotel. Excellent choice. You will notice on its website that it provides a complimentary shuttle to downtown and the BART station. I would imagine it is available in the evening hours, but you should call ahead and ask.
As stated previously, the walk is relatively safe during daylight hours. I would be hesitant to walk between downtown and Jack London Square at night because the underpass and adjacent industrial area is isolated. Your best bet at night is to take the hotel shuttle. If no shuttle is available, take a south/west AC Transit 72 or 72M. The ride takes 5-10 minutes and costs $1.50 when you use a free transfer available inside the BART station. Alternately, you can take a taxi. The fare won%26#39;t be astronomical since it%26#39;s a short ride.
Fare on AC Transit now is $1.75
The fare is $1.50 with a BART transfer, $1.75 without. OP will be taking BART to Oakland.
Thank you BetterthanBings and Davdaven. I appreciate
the time and effort to respond to my questions.
Thanks again.
