Thanks John. That’s an easy way to travel, especially for those who are more comfortable staying in the underground station for the transfer. We have been of the opinion that suggesting the above-ground busses allows more observation of the town, gets you a few blocks closer, and costs the same… but you may have the more attractive option for many people. Good instructions.

FYI: I prefer to get to Toronado by taking the N-Judah MUNI “light-rail”.

You just get off BART at the Civic Center Station (or any of the other stations
that are on Market), climb one level up, and go into the Muni Light Rail Platform.

Get on the next N-Judah train (every 3rd one or so), and stay on it
about 5-10 minutes until the train emerges above ground.

Just after it crosses Church, get off and walk the few block up up
the hill on Fillmore to Haight St., turn left up Haight for another half block,
and you are there.

Alternatively you can stay on the N-Judah MUNI train for a few more blocks,
and get off at Duboce Park (before the train goes underground again).
Walk across the park and the few blocks to Haight St., and turn
right and walk about 1.5 more blocks. (I like this better
because its a level walk, more or less).

Either way, its less than 1/4th mile of walking.
