Bay Bridge Inn Questions & Answers

Seattle, Washington

Is is safe to walk to and from the MacArthur BART station alone and especially at night? Are there cabs at MacArthur station? Do you have someone who could pick me up at MaArthur and drive me safely to the motel at night? Please be totally honest with me this is Oakland and I am scared.

It is safe to walk to and from MacArthur BART alone during the day, but I have never tried to do so at night.

My preference is to take a taxi home and, because it is only a few blocks, tip my driver 2 or 3 dollars more.

I think I did see cabs there at night. But the latest I was ever at the station was 11PM. It's only a 7 minute walk; go for it. I'm from a little town it Montana and was fearful too, since I'm 68 and was traveling alone. But there is nothing to be afraid of. There were lots of people around all the time and every one I asked for directions, no matter the color of their skin, was very helpful. While walking around the area during the day, nearly everyone said hello. I think people in the neighborhood go out of their way to make strangers feel comfortable. Nobody pan-handled me or even approached me. Don't miss out on all the interesting areas of Oakland because you're afraid. The scariest thing I ever saw was a mattress on the sidewalk under the bridge, but there was never anyone sleeping on it. I'm being totally honest. There is nothing to be afraid of but litter.
