Montgomery Street station, Underground rapid transit station in Financial District, San Francisco, United States.
Montgomery Street station is an underground rapid transit stop in San Francisco's Financial District, in California. It runs three levels below Market Street and serves both BART and Muni Metro lines on separate platforms, linked by a shared fare collection concourse.
The station opened for BART in 1973 as part of the first line to connect the wider Bay Area. Muni Metro service was added in 1980, turning it into a transfer point between two separate rail networks.
The station sits at the heart of San Francisco's Financial District, where office workers, tourists, and locals all share the same platforms during the morning and evening rush. Stepping in from Montgomery Street, you are immediately surrounded by the pace of one of the city's busiest commercial corridors.
The station has several exits along Market Street and can be reached from both Montgomery Street and New Montgomery Street. Signage between levels is clear, making it straightforward to transfer between BART and Muni Metro without leaving the paid area.
The mezzanine level is lined with dome-shaped hexagonal tiles, a design choice made by the firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. This pattern runs throughout the fare concourse and is one of the few visual details that sets this station apart from the others on the BART network.
