'''Millbrae''' is on the Peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.
Get in
Millbrae has a very large BART [http://www.bart.gov/index.asp] station at El Camino Real and Millbrae Avenue. This is the terminating BART station going south from San Francisco. The first stop going north is San Francisco International Airport (SFO) [http://www.flysfo.com/].
At this point Caltrain [http://www.caltrain.com/] can be accessed for points further south. Trains also go north from here terminating in San Francisco.
If your destination in San Francisco or your point of departure from San Francisco is anywhere near the 4th & King Caltrain station (near the South Beach area of SOMA) you should prefer taking Caltrain rather than BART. The former trip between San Francisco and Millbrae is 18 minutes ("baby bullet"), 20 minutes (express), or 31 minutes (local). BART takes 36 minutes to San Francisco's Montgomery Station, and Caltrain is a far more pleasant ride. However, Caltrain takes more planning; it runs less frequently and on more limited hours than BART.
Get around
Caltrain and SamTrans provide service around Millbrae.
