Public Transportation to Fisherman's Wharf
Once you are at Fisherman’s Wharf, you can easily walk to all our attractions, restaurants, hotels, and shops. If you’re so inclined, pedicabs or the historic F-line streetcars will take you to your destination.
Taxis, limousines, rideshares, cable cars, rental cars, and city buses meet all other transportation needs.
Transbay Terminal
The new Transbay Transit Center replaces the former Transbay Terminal in downtown San Francisco with a modern transit hub. Extending just south of Mission Street from Second to Beale Streets, the Transit Center will connect Bay Area counties and the State of California through several transportation systems, including AC Transit, BART, Caltrain, Greyhound, Muni, WestCAT Lynx, Amtrak, Paratransit and California’s future High Speed Rail from San Francisco to Los Angeles/Anaheim.
