Shuttles
Together, we can prevent the spread of COVID-19
For your safety, all passengers must wear a mask when boarding and riding the shuttle. Shuttles are limited to 12 passengers seated only in designated seats to allow space for physical distancing. Passengers not able board receive a Lyft ride (in the Lyft app, create an account, select menu (top left), select Promos, enter your promo code, then request your ride).
View all shuttle schedules here, and see Routes & Timetables section below for schedules and stop information by route. For real-time departures, visit Live Shuttle on the UCSF Mobile app. For trip planning, contact: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) | 415.476.GOGO (4646)

Faster, Easier BART connections
To better serve commuters who travel on BART, we’re making the connection between BART and UCSF smoother and faster. Expanding service to regional transit hubs aligns with our goals to improve transportation options for UCSF staff, faculty, students, patients, and visitors.
Parnassus Heights | BART
UCSF’s Lime shuttle route will include a stop at the 16th Street BART station during peak commute hours, providing a direct connection between Parnassus Heights and BART (no transfer required). During midday, the Lime route will not stop at BART, but will continue to serve riders between Mission Center Building (MCB) and Parnassus Heights with a stop at Buchanan Dental.
Where to catch the Lime at BART
In the mornings, the Lime shuttle will stop at BART at: 2970 16th Street (between Mission St. and Capp St.)
In the evenings, the Lime shuttle will stop at BART at: 3001 16th Street (between Mission St. and Hoff St.)
For more information, view map of the Lime shuttle stop locations at BART.
Mission Bay | BART
Mission Center Building (MCB) | BART
Beginning June 1, connections between BART and Mission Bay, and BART and MCB, will be faster with increased capacity. Red shuttles will provide direct non-stop service from Mission Bay to the 16th St. BART station only, effectively making all Red shuttles Red Express shuttles. This change reflects rider feedback and ridership data collected during regular service operations, prior to COVID-19 impacts.
For MCB riders, a new Purple shuttle will be introduced that will travel between MCB and BART.
The Mission Bay Jitney offers on-demand shuttle service weekdays from 8:00 am—5:00 pm to transport riders within a ½ mile of the Mission Bay campus. (No service between 11:45 am - 12:45 pm daily.)
To request a ride, click here or call 415.915.4283.
The after-hours and weekend on-demand service, known as the Mission Bay Local and Parnassus East/West routes, has been temporarily discontinued as of July 1, due to extremely low ridership and budget constraints. We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to returning the service when ridership volume warrants reinstatement. If this causes a hardship for your commute, please contact us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
UCSF shuttles welcome UCSF faculty, staff, students, patients and patient family members on board. Please show your UCSF ID when boarding. Minors are welcome, in the company of a parent or chaperone.
Please refrain from conversations with the driver while riding on the shuttles. Drivers are not permitted to stop at any location not identified on the shuttle schedule.
As a courtesy to other passengers, please refrain from eating, drinking and cell phone conversations while riding on the shuttles.
Wherever you’re going on campus, we’ll help get you there.
Free shuttles provide transportation to UCSF faculty, staff, students, patients, patient family members, and visitors to all campus locations, including Parnassus Heights, Mission Bay, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, Mount Zion and more. All shuttles are ADA accessible and equipped with bike racks. To print the shuttle map, click here.
UCSF shuttle service is available Monday through Friday, except on university holidays.
