Faster, Easier BART connections
UCSF shuttle service increases, including mid-day service on most routes, effective Monday, June 1. New shuttle schedules are available here.
To better serve commuters who travel on BART, we’re enhancing our service to make the connection from BART to 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 be expanded to include a stop at the 16th Street BART station during peak commute hours. This modified route will provide a direct connection between Parnassus Heights and BART that does not require any transfer. During mid-day, the Lime route will serve riders between Mission Center Building (MCB) and Parnassus Heights with a stop at Buchanan Dental.
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. During morning and evening commute hours, 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.
Together, we can prevent the spread of COVID-19
For your safety and the safety of our drivers, all passengers are required to wear a mask or face cover. Each shuttle is limited to 6 passengers, in designated open 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).
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.
