Whats the best way to get to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco via public transit?
Speaking as a native San Franciscan, here’s my advice. I’ve lived outside the city for 3 years now, so things may have changed slightly but overall MUNI doesn’t have a history of evolving. The 7 Haight/71 Noriega and 6 Parnassus are both fairly slow with a lot of folks hopping on and off. If you’re going aboveground, try to catch a 5 Fulton or 21 Hayes. The 21 is pretty swift once you get on it, but it tends to be elusive. The 5 runs down the entire length of the park, all the way to the beach, so it’s pretty easy to just hop off near wherever you’re going — and by the time it gets to Stanyan it really starts to blast down Fulton at a good clip. Underground, the N Judah is your best bet, although I’ve developed something of a disitaste for it. Hop on at any of the downtown BART stations (I try to go as far as possible on BART before switching at Civic Center Station) by exiting BART and walking directly to the MUNI Metro faregates. You’ll go down again to the Metro platform you passed
