I clocked it at under 2 minutes from all the way down on the BART platform to the Muni Central Subway platform. It feels a lot quicker though. You spend most of your time riding escalators sideways. All the “armchair transit planners” didn’t know what they were talking about. This is a perfectly fine transfer.
Looking at the raw footage form this video, the time between the platform at Union Square to the platform at Powell St. was just over 1 minute 30 seconds, however, this is with me walking up the escalator at Union Square, and me being able-bodied enough to walk down the stairs to the Powell St. Platform. I suppose it would take maybe a minute or two longer if you were to stand on the escalator, but overall, the transfer isn't that terribly long. At most maybe a few minutes.
I know you get a free tansfer, but wouldn't it be nice if you could connect without leaving the paid area?
How long is the walk in minutes?
