Get in
Highway 4 passes through the western and southern edges of Brentwood. Follow signs to get to downtown Brentwood. A possible BART extension has been discussed but has yet to materialize; in the meantime, Tri Delta Transit buses connect Brentwood to Antioch BART station.

By taxi
Taxi service is available, but on a much reduced scale as compared to major cities and you won't be able to hail a cab; it is necessary to call and arrange for a taxi to pick you up. Rates are fixed by city ordinance and do not vary among companies.
