How easy is it to get to San Francisco’s events without a car? We took every upcoming event on our calendar and measured the distance to the nearest Muni stop, the Muni lines that pass close by, and the nearest BART station. This page reports what the map shows. It takes no position on any transit measure.
The one event not near Muni: Alcatraz Sunrise Gathering for Indigenous Peoples’ Day (reached by ferry).

How We Built This
Sources
- Muni Stops (DataSF i28k-bkz6, from the SFMTA; 3,260 stops).
- Muni Simple Routes (DataSF 9exe-acju, from the SFMTA). Temporary bus-substitute patterns (FBUS, KBUS, NBUS, TBUS) are left out.
- BART GTFS station locations.
- The Project SF events calendar: every event running on or after the date above, with the location we hold for its venue.
Method
- For each event we measure the straight-line distance to the nearest Muni stop and the nearest BART station.
- A Muni line counts as nearby when its route passes within 400 m (about a 5-minute walk) of the event. Metro or Rapid means the J, K, L, M, N or T lines, or the 5R, 9R, 14R, 28R or 38R.
- “Ends 9 p.m. or later” uses the end time the organizer publishes.
- Events spread over a wide area (waterfront viewing, two piers, a parade route) are measured at several spots, listed in the spot-by-spot table. Their nearest stop and nearest BART come from the closest spot, and their lines are every line within 400 m of any spot.
What This Data Cannot Tell You
- Distances are straight lines, not walking routes, so real walks are a little longer.
- A route passing within 400 m does not always mean a stop within 400 m: Metro and Rapid lines skip stops.
- The Muni data is the SFMTA’s snapshot as of . This page does not measure how often buses come, which matters most for evening and weekend events.
- These are the events on our calendar, picked and checked by us, not every event in the city.
