Jones and Beach station is a streetcar station in the Fisherman's Wharf district of San Francisco, California, serving as the terminus of the San Francisco Municipal Railway's E Embarcadero and F Market & Wharves heritage railway lines. It is located on Jones Street between Beach and Jefferson Streets. The station opened on March 4, 2000, with the streetcar's extension to Fisherman's Wharf.[1]

Services[]

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, service is provided by the E Embarcadero and F Market & Wharves historic streetcar lines. Historic streetcar service around 7 a.m. and ends by 1:30 a.m.

Muni Bus:

Service is also provided by the L Owl bus line, which begins operation at 1 a.m. and ends at 5 a.m when the E and F lines aren't running.

Cable Car service:

This station is also the 2-3 blocks away from the Taylor and Bay terminal, which is served by the Powell-Mason cable car line. And the Hyde and Beach terminal, which is served by the Powell-Hyde cable car line.

COVID-19[]

The E and F lines was temporarily discontinued on March 23, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Service was provided by the F Bus, running between Jones & Beach and Ferry Building, covering a small section of the F streetcar line.[2] 16 days later on April 8, 2020, the F Bus service was discontinued as well, as COVID cases escalated. Service was only provided by the L Owl bus line at this time.[3]

A year later, service on the F-line resumed to support San Francisco's economy recovery and reopening as tourism returns on May 15, 2021. Service on the F also came back with reduced service hours, beginning at 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.[4] On June 26, service hours on the F-line were extended; beginning earlier and ending later.[5]

As of August 2021, the E Embarcadero, still has yet to resume.
