How to Ride MUNI and BART

Step 2 Find your stop and wait

The underground stations are all marked with reasonably large MUNI and BART signs. If you see stairs going down Market Street downtown, then you've found a station. MUNI and BART share the downtown stations, so use the signs in the station to find the right entrance.

The outdoor MUNI stops have a sign and, oftentimes, a raised area at the stop.

If you have to wait and need to kill time, listen to your iPod, read something or catch up on your calls. You can also read the N Judah Chronicles on your phone.

I prefer calling 673-MUNI over 311 because it skips the Do you speak English? step, so you can talk to the operator faster.

(415) 673-MUNI now diverts to 311 and is useful when you're using a non-311-supported mobile phone, are for some reason not able to access 311 from, say, your work phone, or just feel like dialing more numbers.

Muni stops are also marked by yellow paint on the ground or a pole:

Gazing around until you find school bus yellow helps in finding a stop.
