Muni has started a “Culture Bus” route! For a flat $7 fare folks can ride the Culture Buses all day as they shuttle back and forth between major San Francisco museums. FastPass holders can purchase a ticket for $3.
The distinctive yellow-orange buses run on biodiesel (some are biodiesel hybrids).
I see them on my walk to work each morning:
From the SFMTA site:
Bus Route: 74X CultureBus
Area: Downtown, Golden Gate Park
Date: Effective Saturday, September 20, 2008
Time: Daily 8:40am until 5:50pmSan Francisco introduces a pilot 74X CultureBus special express service to connect the SOMA Museum District, Union Square, and the museum concourse in Golden Gate Park.
Full information can be found at the San Francisco CultureBus website.
For one special event fare you can ride all day, getting on and off as many times as you like. Some museums give discounts when you show your special transfer. Then continue to use your special event fare transfer on Muni bus, Metro, and historic streetcar service (cable cars not included) for the rest of the day.
