About the route

The T Third Street is a Muni Metro light rail line serving eastern San Francisco, from Visitacion Valley to Chinatown, primarily along Third Street through Bay View, Mission Bay, and SOMA. North of Bryant Street in SOMA, the line runs in a subway to Chinatown. Most of the surface routes have a dedicated trackway, separate from car traffic. All stations along the T Line are wheelchair accessible and offer level boarding at all doors.

This line serves as a key transit link between Market Street/Downtown and the Chase Center in Mission Bay. Special short-run service between Chinatown and the UCSF/Chase Center Station may be offered for events at the Chase Center.

During early weekend mornings, outside of owl service hours, surface T buses provide service. Overnight service is offered by the 91-Owl bus route. Both T and 91-Owl routes serve curbside stops.

Although the T Third Street is the newest Muni Metro line, the Third Street corridor has had streetcar service since 1895, which was converted to buses in the 1940s. Rail service was reintroduced in 2007 when the Third Street segment of the T Line south of 4th & King opened. Before the Central Subway opened in 2022, the T Third Street was combined with the K Ingleside, operating as a single route from Sunnydale to Balboa Park via the Embarcadero and Market Street. If the Central Subway temporarily closes, the T Line might again be combined with the K Line.
