How's the BART different from the trains/cable cars?
Where can I buy the 3 day pass?

Thanks
For a visitor, the only thing I use the BART for is getting to and from the airport. A cab trip one way is around $40 to downtown, a shuttle is around $20 and a BART ticket is $8.10. It's nice because you just walk through the airport and it takes you downtown and within 3-4 blocks of all the hotels, depending on which stop you get off at.

The three day pass covers all other transit. It's $5 per trip on a cable car and $2 per trip on anything else. If you are going to do a round trip cable car ride it's worth it to buy, but if you aren't I'd just pay as you go. The lineups are long on the cable cars at the end stations, but if you go up one stop you can bypass the whole line and hang off the edge. It's quite fun.
