Your better option is to take BART all the way to Richmond, changing in Oakland. It's 1 hr 6 mins by BART SFO to Richmond, and your Amtrak train arrives there at 1:47pm. Plenty of time.
I think it should be clarified that you mean changing BART (not to Amtrak) in Oakland since weekday BART doesn't go from SFO to Richmond. It might work out, but the bigger issue would be accounting for a flight delay of more than an hour (not unusual in San Francisco).Your better option is to take BART all the way to Richmond, changing in Oakland.

It's $50. I doubt the OP would be able to get the AAA discount. I looked up Greyhound for a random day, and SF-Truckee was $30 web special up to $44.50 fully refundable.Taking BART to Richmond would work. That transfer between BART trains is easy and timed like clockwork (you just walk across a platform).
It's an option if you really want to take Amtrak but as BCL says, it doesn't leave much wiggle room for a delayed flight. Plus, it's likely more expensive than Greyhound. But if you can make it work, it will get you there a couple of hours sooner.
The San Francisco Bay Area has many different public transportation systems. BART is just one of them. The system that serves only San Francisco is MUNI (San Francisco Municipal Railway - although they also operate a city bus service). Three other regional bus systems come into San Francisco, and two different water ferries.Yes thats it
I didn realize that BART went out of San Francisco, so I´ll take AMTRAK in Richmond.
I was thinking about sightseeing the city, but after a long journey.. I´ll visit SF in the way back.
one last question, buying ticket at counter is the same price? Thanks really
