Public Transportation: Your Eco-Friendly Chariot to Chase
Let's be honest, driving in San Francisco can be a bit of an adventure (read: white-knuckled experience). Public transportation is your best bet, and the good news is, it's free with your event ticket! That's right, free like Steph Curry draining a three from half court.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
Here's the lowdown on your Muni options:
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
- Muni Metro: The T Third Street line zooms you right to the UCSF/Chase Center stop. Easy peasy.
- Muni Bus: Several lines serve Chase Center, including the 15, 55, 78X, and 79X. Just hop on and enjoy the ride (and maybe avoid staring too intently at anyone reading a Warriors fan fiction on their phone).
- Bonus Round: Ferry (for select events only): Feeling nautical? Catch a ferry from Oakland or Alameda and disembark at the Mission Bay Interim Ferry Landing, a short walk from the arena. Because, why not channel your inner Jack Sparrow on your way to see some slam dunks?
Important Note: Remember, you're sharing the ride with fellow fans, so pack your patience and maybe some deodorant (just sayin').
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
Biking or Scooting: Two-Wheeled Warriors
Feeling active? Chase Center is super bike-friendly. There's plenty of parking, and it's a great way to see the city. Just be sure to follow the rules of the road and avoid any rogue banana peels (a common hazard in San Francisco).
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Scooting is another option, though perfect your Steph Curry-level dribbling skills first, because those San Francisco hills can be no joke.
Taxi or Ridesharing: The "I'm Running Late" Option
We all have our moments. If public transportation or biking isn't your jam, taxis or rideshare apps are available. Just be prepared for potential surge pricing, especially after the game.
Pro Tip: Download the app and hail your ride beforehand to avoid post-game traffic chaos.
