The Salesforce Transit Center, also known as the Transbay Transit Center, is a transit center in downtown San Francisco. It serves as the primary bus terminal for the San Francisco Bay Area, and is proposed as a possible future rail terminal. The centerpiece of the San Francisco Transbay development, the construction is governed by the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA). The 1,430-foot-long (440 m) building sits one block south-east of Market Street, a primary commercial and transportation artery.
After the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake damaged the 1939 Transbay Terminal, voters approved funds for the new Transbay Transit Center in 1999. Construction on the first phase, the bus terminal, began in 2010. 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.[1][2] Full funding has not yet been secured for the second phase of construction, the Downtown Rail Extension (now known as The Portal), which hopes to add an underground terminal station for Caltrain and California High-Speed Rail.[3]
The transit center was closed for repairs in September 2018 after cracks were found in structural beams;[4] services resumed in July and August 2019.
