Regular fares

Applies to buses, Metro, and historic streetcars. Applies to service to and from AT&T Park. Does not apply to cable car fares, or to Candlestick Park, CultureBus, and Special Events service fares.

Note: Exact change required. No change given. No refunds provided for overpayment. Subway turnstiles require coins (all denominations of US coins accepted, including dollar coins).

The above fares are good for 90 minutes with a transfer. Always ask for a transfer on all Muni lines except cable cars, even if you do not plan to transfer to another vehicle. Transfers are issued on request at the time the fare is paid.

In Muni Metro subway stations, where you enter by a faregate, the transfer/fare receipt is automatically dispensed from a slot at the far side of the faregate once you have paid your fare. You need to take that transfer before you leave the faregate area.

J, K, L, M, N, S, and T customers must have a transfer/fare receipt or other Proof of Payment.

  • Fare receipts are issued; one-ride-only receipts are not valid as transfers.

  • Senior (ages 65+) & Disabled:
  • An All-Day Passport is sold for $11 by the conductors on the cable cars. This passport is equivalent to a 1-Day Passport only on the day sold.
