The FREE Presidio Go Shuttle system connects Presidio residents, employees, and visitors to various locations throughout the park as well as to locations in downtown San Francisco. There are currently two routes—Presidio Hills and Downtown—and both have different schedules and stops. See below for more information, and be sure to visit the Presidio's website for the most up-to-date schedules and live interactive maps.

The Presidio Hills shuttle is free and available to visitors, residents, and employees, and operates on a loop that departs from the Main Post every 30 minutes. The route stops at locations in the interior and westernmost portions of the Presidio, including Inspiration Point, Washington Boulevard, Baker Beach, and the Public Health Service District. The shuttle also makes several connections with MUNI and the Richmond District. The Presidio Hills route operates from the Main Post from 6:30am to 7:00pm on weekdays*, and from 11:00am to 6pm on weekends.

*Please Note: The Presidio Hills route operates on a weekend schedule on federal holidays.

The shuttles that operate on the Downtown route originate at the Main Post, and stop at the Letterman District, Union Street/Van Ness Avenue, Embarcadero BART, and the Transbay Terminal. On weekdays*, service from the Main Post to the Transbay Terminal runs every 30 minutes from 5:45am to 6pm, and service from the Transbay Terminal to the Presidio runs every 30 minutes from 6:10am to 6:30pm.

Bicycles are a great way to explore the Presidio—either on one of the Presidio's bike friendly trails or using the Slow Streets network. Bay Wheels bike share brings classic bikes and electric bikes to the Presidio, making it easier to explore some of the park’s sometimes steep 25 miles of terrain. Activated through the Lyft mobile app, those over the age of 18 can use the app to find a bike in a safe location and use a bike as an option for getting to and around the park.

There are two bike share stations in the Presidio to pick-up or return classic bikes: at the Presidio Transit Center near Letterman Digital Arts Center and at MacArthur Meadow. While riders must return classic bikes to a station, electric (or e-)bikes may also be parked at Presidio bike racks. Explore the real-time Bay Wheels map for station and bike locations on their website.

Before operating an electric bicycle in the park, remember the three Rs:

• Road! E-bikes may only be used on roads in the Presidio and are not allowed on trails.
• Rack! When not in use, bicycles must be parked at a station or bike rack – see this bike rack map
• Respect! Do not leave bikes where they block roads, block access to trails or buildings and take care not to damage park features when locking bikes.

Visit the FAQ and bike-related transit map for more information about electric bikes in the park.
