Garden Party

Saturday, 12 to 5 p.m.
Hunters Point

Enjoy live music, free locally sourced food and drink and even a free plant during this month's Garden Party event in Hunters Point. This event, hosted by Bay Natives Nursery, happens every second Saturday of the month and is open to the public. 

How to Get There on Muni: The 19 Polk and 44 O'Shaughnessy routes will take riders to within a short walk of the event.

Muni Service Notes: There are no planned service changes for this event.

Hot Chocolate Run

Sunday, 5k at 7:20 a.m. and 15k at 8:10 a.m.
Golden Gate Park

Dubbed “America’s Sweetest Race,” the Hot Chocolate 15k/5k is the country’s fastest-growing race with more than 200,000 participants since its first race in 2008. The event features two courses for runners to choose from – a 15k (9.3 miles) or a 5k (3.1 miles). The 5k course will stay within Golden Gate Park near Stow Lake while the 15k will take runners through the park and out along the Pacific Ocean, down Great Highway, and then back into the park for the finish. Once the races conclude, the fun really starts at the post-race party with music, chocolate fondue, family-friendly fun and of course hot chocolate!

How to Get There on Muni: To arrive near the starting line in Golden Gate Park, riders may take the N Judah Line, as well as the 5 Fulton, 6 Haight/Parnassus, 7 Haight/Noriega, 21 Hayes, 28 19th Avenue, 29 Sunset, 33 Ashbury/18th Street, 43 Masonic, or 44 O'Shaughnessy routes. Riders may also take the L Taraval Line, 18 46th Avenue, 23 Monterey, or 48 Quintara/24th Street routes to points along the Great Highway segment of the 15k.

Muni Service Notes: The 18 and 44 routes will have reroutes in the area of the event while other routes may see minor delays due to increased ridership.

Remember that you can take Muni for the entire day for a single $5 fare. The new $5 Day Pass, available on MuniMobile®, is part of Muni’s recent fare changes. The pass is intended to encourage a safe, convenient way to pay your fare and quickly board Muni vehicles, which reduces overall travel time for everyone. The $5 Day Pass is Muni bus, rail and historic streetcars only.

“On Tap” gives you a heads up about the big events in town and what Muni routes and lines will get you to the party. Look for this feature to be posted usually on Thursdays for a look ahead to the weekend. Check out our Weekend Traffic & Transit Advisory for more details.

150 Years Ago Today – The Cable Car is Born

150 Years Ago Today – The Cable Car is Born By Kelley Trahan August 2, 2023, marks the 150th anniversary of the world’s first successful cable railway, born right here in San Francisco. To celebrate the occasion, we bring you the story of Andrew Hallidie and the very first cable car company, the Clay Street Hill Railroad.  Andrew Hallidie (1834-1900) was a pioneering inventor and entrepreneur who changed urban transportation. In 1852, at the age of 18, Hallidie emigrated with his father from the United Kingdom to San Francisco during the California Gold Rush. His father, an engineer and inventor, had a wire rope patent that played a crucial role in his son's future success.   Portrait of Andrew Smith Hallidie in 1890. Inspired by his father's wire rope business, Hallidie developed a steel cable mineral mine hauling system in 1857. About a decade later, he designed a wire rope aerial tramway for transporting materials over mountainous terrain. Then, after a stint in bridg...

Fare Inspection Reimagined

Fare Inspection Reimagined By Kimberly Burrus As Muni’s Transit Fare Inspectors return to service, the SFMTA is excited to share a new approach that we have for how we will check for fare payment and interact with our customers. Rather than focusing solely on enforcement, the priority will shift to helping customers comply with fare policies. To support this new approach, our Transit Fare Inspectors will be returning over multiple phases this fall and they will have a new look. At the beginning of the public health emergency, Muni fare inspectors took on disaster service worker duties, but Muni never stopped collecting fares. Muni customer fares provide approximately 20% of our revenue and we depend on fares to provide transit service. A Transit Fare Inspector models their new uniform. Phased-in Return This week Muni fare inspectors have joined SFMTA’s larger ambassador program to provide customer assistance throughout the system. This is the start of the phased-in process for M...

Shared Spaces are Here to Stay. Permit Renewals are Due January 15, 2023.

Shared Spaces are Here to Stay. Permit Renewals are Due January 15, 2023. By Anne Yalon Shared Spaces, amongst many other benefits, allows our residents and families to enjoy safe and social outdoor dining. Seen here are the the owners of Tio Chilo’s Grill and their children in the restaurant’s parklet on 24th Street in the Mission.  San Francisco’s popular Shared Spaces program allows merchants, restaurants and arts and culture organizations to use the curbside, sidewalk and other public spaces to conduct local business activities and stay afloat. What emerged as an economic lifeline during the pandemic is making San Francisco’s streets more energized, engaged and activated. Many of the Shared Spaces parklets have become central gathering places for the local community. “ Our parklet makes me feel like when I go to Mexico, where outdoor seating is everywhere. People end up joining their friends in our parklet. It is a space for our customers and our community," said Liz V...
