Getting Here by Muni

San Francisco is served by the Muni bus network. Only some lines run from 1am-5am, so called "Owl" service. Nextbus has real-time bus arrival information. Muni lines that pass particularly close to Noisebridge are:

14 Mission (stops in front of Noisebridge) (24 hour service)

33 Stanyan (stops in front of Noisebridge)

49 Van Ness-Mission (stops in front of Noisebridge)

22 Fillmore (24 hour service; closest stop 16th and Mission)

53 Southern Heights (closest stop 16th and Mission)

26 Valencia (closest stop 18th and Valencia)

12 Folsom (closest stop 18th and Folsom)

Noisebridge is about a 15 minute walk from the Church St Light Rail Muni Station, served by the Muni light rail K, L, M, and T lines underground, and the J, N and F aboveground. (When riding the J Church line, it is closer to exit at the bottom of Dolores Park at 18th and Church rather than at Church and Market. The other Muni light rail lines also connect with BART at Civic Center Station; transferring to BART there may be faster than walking from Church Street.)

Cycling

See the San Francisco Bike Coalition bike map for bike directions to Noisebridge. Noisebridge can be found in the center-right portion of this map.

Note that Valencia Street, parallel to Mission 1 block west, is an official route of the San Francisco Bicycle Network, with designated bicycle lanes in both directions. For security reasons, storing bicycles inside is preferred; they can be brought upstairs using the elevator.

Driving

Street parking in the area is difficult in the evening, since the 16th and Valencia area is a popular entertainment district. There is some street parking available on Mission and surrounding major streets. There is a commercial parking garage at 42 Hoff Street, about two blocks from Noisebridge. Several BART stations outside of San Francisco city limits also have parking available. The driving directions below are to Noisebridge itself; if you'll need to park, you may prefer driving to the garage on Hoff instead.
