What bus numbers would you take to get from downtown to the zoo in san francisco?

Answer 1

San Francisco is a well-organized place for you to use public transportation to get around, aided by the MUNI or San Francisco Municipal Railway.

Enter the Powell Street Station, which gives you access to MUNI. Take the L-Taraval line trolley.

The L line will drop you right at the Zoo, near Wawona and 46th Street. You'll get to see a colorful amount of San Francisco on the way. The ride takes about 42-to-52 minutes.

Whenever you want help with public transportation in San Francisco, there are two useful sources of information.

One option is to call 511 on your phone. You can get a human being on the line and they will help plot a travel route for you. Ask for the Operator and indicate you want information for MUNI. You can also get info on the Bay Area transit website.

The other possibility, if you happen to have a "smart" phone, is to use Google Maps. Google Maps is well plugged into the San Francisco metro transportation system. Put in your location (such as Union Square) and your destination (such as the Zoo) and click on the bus-like icon, which is for public transportation. Google Maps works for public transportation as well as driving or walking/biking. Google Maps will show you the exact route and the MUNI bus number or Letter (such as the L in this case), the fare ($2 in this case), and the minutes (42-to-52 minutes in this this case).
