UCSF/Chase Center station
light rail station in San Francisco
UCSF/Chase Center station (formerly known as UCSF/Mission Bay) is a light rail station on the Muni Metro T Third Street line, located in the median of Third Street at South Street in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The station serves the UCSF Mission Bay campus and the Chase Center arena. The station opened with the T Third Street line on January 13, 2007. Its original configuration had two side platforms; the northbound platform was north of South Street, and the southbound platform south of South Street. The station was closed from November 2018 to August 2019 for conversion to a single island platform to better serve the Chase Center which opened in September 2019.
The station is also served by Muni bus routes 15 and 22, along with 78X and 79X which provide service to Chase Center and run only before and after events at the arena. The T Bus and 91 Owl bus routes provide service along the T Third Street line during the early morning and late night hours respectively when trains do not operate. Additionally, the non-profit Mission Bay Transportation Management Association operates two shuttles, the East and Transbay/Caltrain routes.
