Key System



Area served	East Bay, San Francisco Bay Area, CA
Founded	1902
Founder	Borax Smith
Defunct	1960
Successor	Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District

Officially the San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose Consolidated Railway,^[1] Key System, or Key Route was a privately-owned mass-transit provider in Oakland, California and surrounding area between 1903 and 1960. The service area included the cities of Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville, Piedmont, San Leandro, Richmond, Albany, and El Cerrito in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area. The outer destinations resembled "loops" in the inside part of a key, while the Oakland-San Francisco route along the pier provided the shaft and teeth of a key. Due to this similarity, the service was called the Key System.

This operating franchise was owned by National City Lines, a bus and streetcar holding company between 1946 and 1960. During the National City Lines years, the system was known as Key System Transit Lines.

Service

Trans-Bay rail lines

From 1903 to 1939, service from Oakland to San Francisco was via a 3 mile long pier into the San Francisco Bay, then via ferry from the end of the pier to the San Francisco Ferry Building.

Note: Until the Bay Bridge railway began operation, Key commuter trains had no letter designation. They were named for the principal street or district they served.

A – Downtown Oakland (was extended far into East Oakland to near the San Leandro border on the competing Southern Pacific Railroad interurban (see East Bay Electric Lines) tracks when they shut down their operations in 1941)
B – Lakeshore and Trestle Glen (originally ran through a Key hotel, the Key Route Inn at Grand and Broadway in Oakland; the Inn burned down in the 1930s)
C – Piedmont (Via 40th Street and Piedmont Avenue; alongside Pleasant Valley and Arroyo avenues; and between York Drive and Ricardo Avenue to terminus at Oakland Avenue)
D was reserved for a proposed line into Montclair alongside the Sacramento Northern interurban railway
E – Claremont (ran directly to the Claremont Hotel, terminating on a track between the two tennis courts; the tennis courts survive to this day)
F – Berkeley / Adeline Street (was also extended on former Southern Pacific interurban tracks on Shattuck Avenue beyond Dwight Way and through the SP's Northbrae Tunnel, terminating at Solano Avenue and The Alameda)
G – Westbrae Shuttle (actually, a streetcar shuttle providing a connection at University Avenue with the H transbay train)
H – Monterey Avenue (originally, the Sacramento Street Line; the original line ran up Hopkins, but was switched to the SP's old tracks up Monterey after 1933)
K – College Avenue (also a streetcar shuttle providing a connection at Alcatraz Avenue and Adeline Street with the F transbay train); this line ran extra cars and was heavily used on football game days as its terminus was only a few blocks away from UC's Memorial Stadium

The A, B, C, E and F lines were the last Key System rail lines. Train service ended on April 20, 1958, replaced by buses using the same letter designations. AC Transit preserved the letter-designated routes when it took over the Key System two years later, and are still in use; AC Transit's B, C, E, F, G and H lines follow roughly the corresponding Key routes and neighborhoods.

Trans-Bay Motor Bus lines

J - Richmond Housing. One trip per day in 1958
K - Havenscourt/East Oakland
L - Richmond
N - East Oakland
O - Santa Clara-Alameda
R - Hayward
S - Piedmont
T - Treasure Island
V - Montclair
W - Encinal
X - World's Fair Shuttle

Like the trans-bay rail lines, some Key System transbay motor coach lines exist in various forms in the present day under AC Transit, including the N (as present day NL) and O lines.
