My impromptu bus ride to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco!

I did something extemporaneous today. Out of the blue I went to the Golden Gate Bridge via cable car, muni bus & Golden Gate Transit. That sounds exciting, right? No, because I didn't plan this ahead so I made a few transfers from one random bus to another, but with the help of very friendly and knowledgeable SF muni drivers (not to mention they're cute!), I was able to get to the Golden Gate Bridge. This video shows my chaotic, unplanned trip to the Golden Gate Bridge and in a few days, I have a surprise for all of you and I must say that this is my greatest achievement by far as a power walker! So watch out for that. In the meantime, hold on tight for this ride!

if u could recall how which bus or which route u took from downtown to golden bridge

[@randomtimessomehow]

I'm new to the US/San Francisco: How can I pay with my digital Clipper card? Do the buses have a reader for that where I can tap on?

[@brentsummers7377]

Yes, there is a card reader just to the right of the driver. It works with the plastic clipper cards or the one one on a phone.

Nice video, as I am planning to travel SF later this year and doing some research, so is Golden gate transit safe to take? Is it punctual? I am an Asian and a bit worried of Asian hate crime rising, thus would like to know more thank you

You can also take the 28 which is a Muni Bus line from Fisherman's Wharf or at the terminal of the 49. It doesn't take you across the bridge but it brings you right in front.

[@anthonysnyder1152]

Muni is quite safe. Lots of Asians ride is daily. There are many neighborhoods in SF that are predominantly Asian and we have a lot of Asian tourists as well. That’s not to say it’s not possible to run into the wrong person… but I haven’t yet experienced this and neither anyone I know. There’s been a few instances on the news but those are quite rare and not quite a reason to avoid this beautiful city!
The 49 bus runs every few minutes so you shouldn’t have a problem catching a bus.

Hey, my friends & I (Southeast Asian) just went there 20-22 Sept. We didn't take the exact routes in the video, but spent two days taking the bus & BART train all over downtown. Due to different personal schedules we stayed at different hotels and I actually spent some time exploring solo. Occasional slight delays but never had to wait > 10m for a bus. Never felt unsafe, came across _a lot_ of Asian tourists and locals (including kids & families).
Train stations have prominent staff & security presence if you need help. On the bus you can talk to the driver if you need help. Ofc general safety precautions are always wise (save emergency numbers & apps, follow your instinct).
Some parts of the Tenderloin and Lower Nob Hill are a bit rough, tourists-regardless of origin-are advised to avoid walking late at night. (No personal experience with this; fwiw I did walk some 2 blocks from the Union Square 7-8pm and it was fine.)
Wish you a nice visit!

Can you tell me how to get to the golden gate without using Golden Gate Transit? Its just simply the fare too expensive to reach the golden gate.

[@Qball10]

Take the 28 bus which leaves from fishermans wharf
