The Central Subway offers a faster way to get to Chase Center, saving up to 20 minutes of travel time for Muni and BART riders. Plus, your event ticket doubles as a free event-day Muni ticket, helping you save time and money on your event day.
Muni's Central Subway features the updated T Third route, which connects the new Chinatown - Rose Pak and Union Square/Market Street stations to Chase Center from the north and Sunnydale Station from the south. Additionally, the S Shuttle Mission Bay gets fans to Chase Center on event days.
The most common transfer point for those going to and from Chase Center via the Central Subway will be Powell Station.

Suggested Rideshare Hack
Taking rideshare to Chase Center? When you’re ready to request your ride, simply enter “Chase Center” as your destination. Chase Center’s official drop-off and pick-up location is located along Terry Francois Boulevard. The rideshare app will show you the best places to get picked up, but with so many people using ride share options after an event, we suggest walking toward the 4th and King Caltrain station to make it easier to get a ride.
Get There Early
Take a walk around Chase Center and check out Thrive City. Grab some food or a pre-event drink from one of our various Thrive City retailers. Soak in Bay views on the Esplanade and take a pic at the Olafur Eliasson’s Seeing spheres art installation outside of the East Entrance on Terry Francois Boulevard at 16th Street.
