The main entrance to the Grand Hall, located at Mission and Fremont Streets. Full bus service resumed at the transit center on August 11, 2019. The rooftop park reopened on July 1 bus service that uses the surface level resumed on July 13. Repairs to these beams were completed in May 2019, while construction and road closures related to building issues were still ongoing. A crack in a second beam was found the next day. The transit center was abruptly ordered closed on September 25, 2018, following the discovery of a crack in a steel beam supporting the rooftop park. Full funding has not yet been secured for the second phase of construction, the Downtown Rail Extension, which hopes to add an underground terminal station for Caltrain and California High-Speed Rail. Limited Muni bus service began in December 2017, and full service from AC Transit and other regional and intercity bus operators began in August 2018. Construction on the first phase, the aboveground bus terminal, began in 2010.
The 1,430-foot-long (440 m) building is located one block south of Market Street, a primary commercial and transportation artery in San Francisco.Ĭonstruction of the new terminal was necessitated by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, which damaged the 1939-opened Transbay Terminal, and voters approved funds for the new Transbay Transit Center in 1999. The centerpiece of the San Francisco Transbay development, the construction is governed by the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA). It serves as the primary bus terminal-and potentially as a future rail terminal-for the San Francisco Bay Area. The Transbay Transit Center (officially the Salesforce Transit Center for sponsorship purposes) is a transit station in downtown San Francisco.
