SF Transit Connects East Bay Fans to Warriors Games

AC Transit Transbay service connects to Muni lines for Chase Center arena access

Chase Center Transit Access for Warriors Games

Warriors fans heading to Chase Center can reach the arena using AC Transit Transbay service from the East Bay, followed by a transfer to Muni lines. Transit officials said the connection provides an alternative to driving for fans traveling from across the Bay Area. Specific details about which Transbay routes offer the most direct connections weren't available by publication time, though the transit option has been available since the arena opened in 2019.

Regional Transit Connections

The transit route involves taking AC Transit Transbay service into San Francisco, then transferring to SFMTA Muni Metro or bus lines for the final segment to Chase Center, according to the transit agencies. AC Transit operates multiple Transbay routes connecting East Bay communities to San Francisco, though officials didn't specify which lines offer optimal connections to Muni service for Chase Center access. Transit agencies typically coordinate regional connections to major venues, and Chase Center was designed with public transit access in mind when it opened in September 2019.

Muni Service to the Arena

SFMTA Muni provides several options for reaching Chase Center once riders arrive in San Francisco. The Muni Metro T Third line serves the arena directly, and bus routes including the 10, 22, 30, 45, and 48 also provide access to the venue, according to SFMTA information. Officials didn't provide specific service frequencies for game days. Jeffrey Tumlin, Director of Transportation for SFMTA, oversees the agency's transit operations, though he wasn't available for comment about game-day service levels.

Planning Your Trip

The transit connection has been available since Chase Center opened as the Warriors' home venue, replacing Oracle Arena in Oakland. Transit officials said the route provides fans with an option to avoid parking costs and traffic congestion around the arena on game nights. Specific travel times for the Transbay-to-Muni connection weren't available, as they vary depending on which East Bay starting point and which Transbay route riders use.

Getting Real-Time Information

Fans planning to use the transit option should allow extra travel time on game nights, as both Transbay and Muni services can experience higher ridership during events. Officials didn't provide specific recommendations for how much buffer time to allow. Moovit provides real-time arrival information for both AC Transit Transbay and SFMTA Muni services, helping riders plan connections and track their routes to Chase Center.
