Muni Services in Brief
Muni provides service throughout the city of San Francisco on a variety of transit vehicles. Here is a brief explanation of these different modes:
Cable cars: these are historic cars which are cable-powered (cables are under the street). There are three remaining lines: the Powell & Hyde, the Powell & Mason, and the California. These are not wheelchair accessible.
Historic Streetcars: The F-Market and Wharves service runs from Fisherman's Wharf to the Castro, all on street-level tracks. This line is wheelchair accessible at most stops.
Metro, light rail vehicles, streetcars: these start underground in Metro stations then come above ground and run on rail on city streets. They travel from downtown San Francisco out to various neighborhoods. These are the J, K, L, M, N, S, and T lines. They are wheelchair accessible at all stations and at key stops on the street level.
Buses: these are the rubber tire diesel vehicles that run on the majority of San Francisco lines. Muni bus lines are wheelchair accessible.
Trolley buses: these also have rubber tires and are powered by electric overhead wires. They travel above ground only. Muni trolley bus lines are wheelchair accessible.
More information on wheelchair accessibility is available.
Muni is one of dozens of transit agencies in the Bay Area. It is not related to BART, the Bay Area Rapid Transit. You must pay a separate fare on each transit agency.
Fare Info and Options
Here is some introductory fare information and some fare options you may be interested in.
- The San Francisco CityPass is good as a pass for seven consecutive days on Muni and is also good for admission to several attractions in the city. It's available at those attractions and at the Visitor Information Center at Powell & Market Streets.
Get more information, or purchase a CityPass online (offsite link). There is a shipping and handling charge for online purchases. The CityPass is produced and marketed by CityPass, an independent organization, not by Muni.
