Public transit

511.org is great to help plan your Bay Area travel.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is about 30 minutes away. Oakland International Airport (OAK) is about 50 minutes away.

Caltrain, Capitol Corridor Muni and BART transit systems can help get you around the Bay area on public transit.

Getting Here by BART

BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train service runs 4:30am-midnight weekdays, 6am-midnight on Saturday, and 8am-midnight on Sunday. The train schedules are generally accurate to within about 3 minutes.

  • Take BART to 16th Street Mission Station
  • Get to street level via either exit
  • Walk 1 block south on Mission Street and turn left onto 17th Street.
  • Walk 1 block and turn right onto Capp Street.
  • Noisebridge is on the right, 272 Capp Street.

Getting Here By Caltrain

Caltrain service runs from 4:30am-midnight on weekdays, 7am-midnight on Saturday, and 8am-9pm on Sunday. The train schedules are generally accurate to within 10 minutes, but can often be delayed for significantly longer. Your best bet if a train doesn’t show up is to search "caltrain" on Twitter.

  • Take Caltrain to Millbrae Station
  • Walk across the northbound platform to transfer to BART
  • Wait to board the next train. As of writing, all BART trains serving Millbrae also travel to 16th Street Mission.
  • From here, see the BART directions above.

You can also take Caltrain to the 22nd Street or 4th and King Stations, but it will usually be faster to just take BART.

Getting Here by Muni

San Francisco is served by the Muni bus and light rail network. Only some lines run from 1am-5am, so called "Owl" service. Bus schedules are generally accurate to within 15 minutes. Nextbus has real-time bus arrival information. (Check stops near noisebridge here). Muni lines that pass particularly close to Noisebridge are:

14 Mission (stops one block from Noisebridge) (24 hour service)
33 Stanyan (stops one block from Noisebridge)
49 Van Ness-Mission (stops one block from Noisebridge)
22 Fillmore (24 hour service; closest stop 16th and Mission)
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.)

Getting Home by AC Transit

AC Transit's late-night bus service can get you back to the East Bay after BART stops running at midnight. As of the December 7, 2014 service change, the following routes stop on Mission Street on weekends only:

Route 800, to Richmond BART
Route 822, to Pittsburg/Bay Point BART

Connecting bus service to Fremont is available on Route 801.

AC Transit's schedule doesn't indicate whether routes 800 and 822 will stop in front of Noisebridge at 18th Street. If you know whether or not they do, please edit this article and say so.

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.

Valencia Street, 1 block west of Mission, is an official route of the San Francisco Bicycle Network, with roomy bike lanes in both directions and calm traffic. For security you should bring your bike upstairs either via the stairs or elevator. Our bike rack has room for at least 14 bikes :-)

Driving

Find us on Google Maps or OpenStreetMap.

Evening street parking in the area is difficult since the 16th and Valencia area is a popular entertainment district. Most street parking in the area is metered 9am-6pm.

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. San Francisco is famous for car break-ins; you should place all your valuables in the trunk of your car.
