Your ticket is your fare
We know that sporting events and live concerts bring people together. That’s why we have teamed with Chase Center to give music lovers and sports fans a home field advantage. Your ticket is your fare!
How it works
Your digital pass or paper ticket to any Chase Center event counts as proof of payment for Muni service on the day of the event you’re attending. That applies if you’re heading to Valkyries or Warriors games and concerts. At Muni Metro stations, just enter through the double-wide faregate doors.
You’re bound to see other basketball fans when you choose Muni to watch the Valkyries. About 3,500 Warriors fans regularly take public transit to games at Chase Center! That number is even higher for live concerts.
Why? Because riding Muni to Chase Center is convenient -- no matter where you’re coming from.

How to get to Chase Center on Muni
There are several ways you can get to the Chase Center on Muni. For specific directions from any starting point, you can check out our Trip Planner webpage.
Here’s how we recommend getting to Valkyries games by bus and Muni Metro.
Hop on a Muni bus
From within San Francisco, you can board the:
- 78X 16th St Arena Express
- This route goes straight from 16th Street BART to Chase Center with no stops.
OR
Take Muni Metro
Taking Muni Metro from inside the city is also a slam dunk. If you are near the T Third, you can take that line directly to UCSF/Chase Center. This stop will get you right outside the arena.
Coming from downtown or the Financial District? You can hop on any other Muni Metro line and transfer to the T Third at Powell Station.

How to transfer from Powell to Union Square/Market Street
We added special floor signs to make it easier for people to get from Powell Station to Union Square / Market Street Station. These signs will guide you from the train platforms at Powell Station all the way to the T Third platform at Union Square / Market Street Station.
Here’s the process, step by step:
- Take transit to Powell Station
- You can ride BART or hop on Muni Metro’s J Church, K Ingleside, L Taraval, M Ocean View or N Judah to reach Powell Station.
- Exit your train at Powell
- Head up to the main concourse – you can walk or take the escalator or elevator.
- If you aren’t exactly sure where to go, look for this sign:
- Follow these decals (below) on the floor of the main concourse.
- They will get you all the way to the faregates for Union Square / Market Street Station.
- Enter the double-wide faregates (seen on the far right in photo below).
- Note: You’re able to enter these gates without tapping because your Chase Center ticket is your fare.
- Wait behind the yellow line at the platform level, near these decals (below).
- The T Third train you board will be heading in the Sunnydale direction. It will get you right to Chase Center.
The entire transfer takes just a few minutes, and you never have to leave the comfort of the station. So, there is no need to worry about those famously chilly San Francisco evenings!
