Transfers last 90 minutes in any direction, although bus drivers often give you tickets with extra time. This means that for many trips you can go roundtrip for just $2.25! If you plan to see a lot of San Francisco and stay for a few days, invest in a MUNI Passport (1-day: $15; 3-day: $23, 7-day: $29), which are for sale at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/sanfrancisco\/cable-car-san-francisco\/\">cable car<\/a> turnaround, and other outlets. These passes include rides on the must-see cable cars, which are ordinarily $6 each way, so the pass quickly pays for itself! A monthly pass is also available for $68.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/sanfrancisco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"391\" height=\"261\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/sanfrancisco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bus.jpg 391w, https:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/sanfrancisco\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bus-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" \/><\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\">A more limited bus service runs during the night, but you may want to invest in a taxi instead.
