Muni Service
Muni will provide extra service on the N Judah and 5R Fulton Rapid. Muni will provide 5X Fulton Express service from Golden Gate Park to Civic Center BART Station. Due to increased ridership for this event as well as others around the city, concertgoers should allow extra travel time on the N Judah and all bus lines serving Golden Gate Park. Traffic in the area will also be heavy.
Extra Service
Muni will provide extra service to Golden Gate Park in addition to the regular scheduled service. Extra service on 5R Fulton Rapid will not serve the entire route. The N Judah will have extra trains along the full route; extra buses on Fulton will have different destination signs so you can tell them apart from buses operating on regular schedules. See below for the detailed information.
Notes:
- The N Judah will have extra vehicles operating from 3 p.m. to midnight. on Saturday.
- The 7 Haight/Noriega, 28 19th Avenue, 29 Sunset and 44 O'Shaughnessy serve areas of Golden Gate Park and may be subject to crowds.
