Montgomery Street station (often Montgomery station) is a combined BART and Muni Metrorapid transit station in the Market Street Subway. Located under Market Street between Montgomery Street and Sansome Street, it serves the Financial District neighborhood and surrounding areas. The three-level station has a large fare mezzanine level, with separate platform levels for Muni Metro and BART below. With over 43,000 boardings per weekday, it is the busiest station on the BART system, just ahead of Embarcadero station.
The under-construction station was featured in the 1971 film The Organization.[4] BART service at the station began on November 5, 1973, followed by Muni Metro service on February 18, 1980.[1][2]
Some rush-hour trains on the Antioch lineshort turn at Montgomery during the morning peak to provide additional Transbay service. Beginning on February 16, 2020, Dublin/Pleasanton line trains will terminate at Montgomery on some Sundays due to single-tracking in the Market Street Subway.[5]
Station layout

Like the three other shared Muni/BART stations in the Market Street Subway, Montgomery has three underground levels. The first level is a fare mezzanine, with two Muni paid areas and two BART paid areas. The second level has a single island platform for Muni Metro, and the third level has an island platform for BART.[6] The station has seven street entrances along its length, plus underground entrances to the One Sansome Street and 44 Montgomery buildings.[6]
Following the 2015 addition of a canopy over an escalator at 19th Street Oakland station, which reduced escalator downtime by one-third, BART decided to add canopies to all downtown Oakland and San Francisco entrances. Construction will begin in 2019, with completion in 2025.[7] Under the planned Better Market Street project, the inbound F stop would be discontinued to reduce travel times.[8]
Connections
F Market and Wharves streetcar at Market and 2nd Street
Muni's F Market and Wharves heritage streetcar line stops on the surface at Market and 2nd Street (outbound) and Market and New Montgomery (inbound). The station is also served by a number of Muni bus and trolleybus routes:[9]
AC Transit serves Montgomery Street station with the 800 All Nighter route during hours that BART is not operating.[9]
Additional Muni (14, 14R, 14X), Golden Gate Transit (30, 70, 101, 101X), and SamTrans (292, 397, 398, FCX) bus routes run on Mission Street, one block away. The Transbay Transit Center, located about 1⁄4 mile (0.40 km) to the east, is the primary San Francisco terminal for AC Transit transbay routes, WestCAT, Greyhound Lines, Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach buses, some Golden Gate Transit routes, and Muni route 25.[9]
