**Embarcadero station** is a combined [BART](/source/BART) and [Muni Metro](/source/Muni_Metro) [rapid transit](/source/Rapid_transit) subway station in the [Market Street subway](/source/Market_Street_subway) in downtown [San Francisco](/source/San_Francisco). Located under [Market Street](/source/Market_Street_(San_Francisco)) between Drumm Street and Beale Street near [The Embarcadero](/source/The_Embarcadero_(San_Francisco)), it serves the [Financial District](/source/Financial_District%2C_San_Francisco) neighborhood and surrounding areas. The three-level station has a large fare mezzanine level, with separate platform levels for Muni Metro and BART below. Embarcadero station opened in May 1976 – almost two years after service began through the [Transbay Tube](/source/Transbay_Tube) – as an [infill station](/source/Infill_station).

Embarcadero and nearby [Montgomery Street stations](/source/Montgomery_Street_station) are typically the two busiest in the BART system. The station is served by the BART [Blue](/source/Blue_Line_(BART)), [Green](/source/Green_Line_(BART)), [Red](/source/Red_Line_(BART)) and [Yellow](/source/Yellow_Line_(BART)) lines, and the Muni Metro [J Church](/source/J_Church), [K Ingleside](/source/K_Ingleside), [L Taraval](/source/L_Taraval), [M Ocean View](/source/M_Ocean_View), [N Judah](/source/N_Judah), and [S Shuttle](/source/S_Shuttle) lines. A major Bay Area transit hub, Embarcadero is also served by numerous bus routes of several other agencies which stop above the station and on surrounding streets.

## Station layout

Muni K and BART trains at the station in 2025. No direct connection exists between the two platforms.

Like the three other shared Muni/BART stations in the Market Street subway, Embarcadero has three underground levels. The uppermost level is a fare mezzanine, with one Muni paid area in the middle flanked by two BART paid areas. The second level has a single [island platform](/source/Island_platform) (of which only the center portion is used) for Muni Metro, and the third level has an island platform for BART.[4] The station is narrower than the other three – 50 feet (15 m) rather than 60 feet (18 m) – because of adjacent buildings and the high [water table](/source/Water_table).[5] It has six street entrances along its length.[4] The station contains an unused underground entrance to the [388 Market Street](/source/388_Market_Street) building.

## History

A Muni Metro train at Embarcadero in 1993

The BART Board approved the name "Embarcadero" in December 1965. At that time, it was only planned to be used for Muni Metro.[6] BART service at the station began on May 27, 1976, three years after the other San Francisco stations.[1] As a result of increasing development in the lower Market Street area, the basic structure of the station was added into the construction of the Market Street subway, anticipating a later opening.[7] This resulted in the Embarcadero station having a different design than the other three Market Street stations. The station was designed by chief BART architect Tallie Maule and Hertzka & Knowles & Associates in collaboration with [Parsons Brinckerhoff](/source/Parsons_Brinckerhoff), Tudor Construction, and [Bechtel](/source/Bechtel).[8] The station cost $30 million to construct.[9][10]

Muni Metro service began in February 1980 and Embarcadero was originally intended to be the inbound terminus for all of the Muni Metro lines.[2][11] In 1998 a new southward extension was opened, extending the [N Judah](/source/N_Judah) along the Embarcadero to the [Caltrain](/source/Caltrain) [station at 4th and King Streets](/source/San_Francisco_4th_and_King_Street_station).[12] On March 4, 2000, [F Market & Wharves](/source/F_Market_%26_Wharves) streetcar service was extended northward to [Fisherman's Wharf](/source/Fisherman's_Wharf%2C_San_Francisco), with new stops above Embarcadero station at Main Street (inbound) and Drumm Street (outbound).[13] Because the station is adjacent to the Transbay Tube, [brake dust](/source/Brake_dust) and other particles from train operations coat the walls of the station. A sandblasting in 2014 revealed the original white [terrazzo](/source/Terrazzo) platform walls under the dark grime.[14]

Since before 1992, the station was serenaded by Ronald Brewington, known as the "Jazz Man".[15] He would play saxophone for commuters, and entertain them with conversation and charm.[15] He claimed his name was Garrick Sherrod; however, that was an [identity he had stolen](/source/Identity_theft).[15] The Jazz Man was actually a fugitive from [Albuquerque](/source/Albuquerque) facing [capital murder](/source/Capital_murder) charges stemming from the 1987 death of his wife Diedre.[15] He was arrested at a BART station in 2012, and [extradited](/source/Extradition) to [New Mexico](/source/New_Mexico).[15] In 2013, he pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to 16 years in prison.[16]

The 2025-opened canopy at Drumm Street

Following the 2015 addition of a [canopy](/source/Canopy_(architecture)) over an escalator at [19th Street Oakland station](/source/19th_Street_Oakland_station), which reduced escalator downtime by one-third, BART decided to add canopies to all downtown Oakland and San Francisco entrances.[17] Construction of the Market Street entrances was to begin in 2020, with completion in 2027.[18] The entrances on the southern side of the station were closed from April 13, 2020, to May 15, 2021, due to low ridership during the COVID-19 pandemic.[19] Concourse-level preparation for canopy construction at Embarcadero station began on November 15, 2021.[20] The entrance at Davis Street was closed for canopy construction from June 13, 2022 until October 2023, followed by the Beale Street entrance from September 5, 2023, to March 2024.[21][22][23][24] The Federal Reserve Bank entrance was closed for construction on October 18, 2023; the Pine Street entrance closed on March 14, 2024.[22][25] A canopy at the Drumm Street entrance opened in January 2025.[26] The canopies at Embarcadero station include artwork entitled *We Touch Here* by [Norie Sato](/source/Norie_Sato).[27]

Thirteen BART stations, including Embarcadero, did not originally have faregates for passengers using the elevator. In 2020, BART started a project to add faregates to elevators at these stations. The new faregate on the platform at Embarcadero was installed in December 2021.[28] This allows passengers using the elevator to enter and exit fare control through the faregate, rather than having to use a "difficult and cumbersome" process of tagging in or out at the concourse faregates.[29] Bathrooms at underground BART stations were closed after the September 11 (2001) attacks due to security concerns. The bathroom at Embarcadero station reopened on June 30, 2023, after a renovation, with an attendant on duty during all operating hours.[30]

### Artwork

The bottom part of *Wall Canyon*

Although original plans to include [public art](/source/Public_art) at every BART station did not come to fruition, several artworks were included in Embarcadero station.[31]: 1 The platform walls and street entrances feature circle-based [reliefs](/source/Relief) by [William Mitchell](/source/William_Mitchell_(sculptor)).[31]: 3, 6 *Wall Canyon*, a 37-foot (11 m)-high colored ceramic relief by [Stephen De Staebler](/source/Stephen_De_Staebler), is partially hidden behind a staircase at the southwest end of the station.[32][31]: 2 It was installed on January 1, 1977.[32] A [duotone](/source/Duotone) granite portrait of Tallie Maule – the chief architect of the original BART system – is on the mezzanine level.[33][31]: 6

A 50-foot (15 m)-tall, 7,000-pound (3,200 kg) rope sculpture called *Legs* was installed at the northwest end of the station in 1976 or 1978. Created by Barbara Shawcroft, the orange-and-white [Nomex](/source/Nomex) sculpture moved with the breeze from passing Muni and BART trains.[34] *Legs* soon accumulated the same dark grime as the station walls, hiding the original color. BART was required by the artist's contract to clean the sculpture but several attempts were unsuccessful.[34] In 2013, BART included removal of *Legs* in its 2014 budget, which prompted a debate about whether it should be cleaned regardless of cost (which Shawcroft supported), or removed from the unsuitable environment of the station.[35] The sculpture was removed in June 2014 and returned to Shawcroft – a [professor emerita](/source/Professor_emerita) at [UC Davis](/source/UC_Davis) School of Design – who planned to repurpose it into other pieces.[34]

## Connections

The intersection of Market Street and Drumm Street prior to construction of canopies. Embarcadero station entrances can be seen in the center and top left. An [F Market & Wharves](/source/F_Market_%26_Wharves) streetcar is running east on Market Street (left, just above center) and a [California Street line](/source/San_Francisco_cable_car_system#California_Street_line) cable car waits in the pinch tracks (lower right).

Embarcadero station is located in the busy Financial District; numerous routes by several transit providers stop at or near the station. Most radial [Muni](/source/San_Francisco_Municipal_Railway) bus routes terminate at several nearby locations:[36]

- - Ferry Plaza: [2](/source/List_of_San_Francisco_Municipal_Railway_lines#2), [6](/source/6_Haight%2FParnassus), [7X](/source/7_Haight%2FNoriega#7X), [9](/source/List_of_San_Francisco_Municipal_Railway_lines#9), [14](/source/14_Mission), [K Owl](/source/K_Ingleside#Operation), [M Owl](/source/List_of_San_Francisco_Municipal_Railway_lines#M_Owl) - [Salesforce Transit Center](/source/Salesforce_Transit_Center), with intermediate stops on Market Street near Embarcadero: [5](/source/5_Fulton), [5R](/source/5R_Fulton_Rapid), [7](/source/7_Haight%2FNoriega), [38](/source/38_Geary), [38R](/source/38R_Geary_Rapid)

The California Street line of the [San Francisco cable car system](/source/San_Francisco_cable_car_system) terminates adjacent to the Drumm Street station entrance. Muni's [F Market and Wharves](/source/F_Market_and_Wharves) heritage streetcar line stops on the surface at **Market and Main** (westbound) and **Market and Drumm** (eastbound).[36]

A number of [Golden Gate Transit](/source/Golden_Gate_Transit) bus routes stop near Embarcadero. Other transit agencies that stop nearby include [SamTrans](/source/SamTrans) (292, 397, 398, 713, FCX) and [PresidiGo](/source/PresidiGo) (Downtown Shuttle).[36]

Embarcadero station is the nearest Muni Metro and BART station to the [Ferry Building](/source/San_Francisco_Ferry_Building), the primary San Francisco terminal for [Golden Gate Ferry](/source/Golden_Gate_Ferry), [San Francisco Bay Ferry](/source/San_Francisco_Bay_Ferry) and [Treasure Island Ferry](/source/Treasure_Island_Ferry). The [Salesforce Transit Center](/source/Salesforce_Transit_Center), located about 1⁄4 mile (0.40 km) to the south, is the primary San Francisco terminal for [AC Transit](/source/AC_Transit) transbay routes, [WestCAT](/source/WestCAT), [Greyhound](/source/Greyhound) lines, [Amtrak Thruway](/source/Amtrak_Thruway) buses (at 401 Mission), some Golden Gate Transit routes, and Muni route [25](/source/List_of_San_Francisco_Municipal_Railway_lines#25).[36] The second phase of the Salesforce Transit Center – the Downtown Rail Extension (now known as [The Portal](/source/The_Portal_(San_Francisco))) – will include an 800-foot (240 m)-long pedestrian tunnel under Beale Street connecting Embarcadero station with the underground rail concourse.[37]
