Muni Metro is a light rail network operating in San Francisco, California, managed by the San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni), which is a division of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). As of late 2019, the system handled an average of 157,700 weekday riders, making it the second most utilized light rail system in the United States. The network consists of six lines—J Church, K Ingleside, L Taraval, M Ocean View, N Judah, and T Third Street—each running on distinct surface alignments before converging into a central downtown tunnel. Additionally, the S Shuttle operates exclusively within this tunnel. The rolling stock comprises 151 high-floor Breda light rail vehicles (LRVs), which are currently being phased out in favor of 249 Siemens S200 LRVs.
Founded in 1909, the San Francisco Municipal Railway began its first streetcar services in 1912. Between 1917 and 1928, five lines now still in operation were introduced: J (1917), K alongside the opening of the Twin Peaks Tunnel (1918), L (1919), M (1925), and N (1928). Unlike other streetcar routes that were replaced by bus services during the mid-20th century, these five lines persisted due to their exclusive private rights-of-way. The late 1970s and early 1980s saw a transformation into light rail transit with the deployment of larger US Standard Light Rail Vehicles, the inauguration of the Market Street subway, and extensions for three lines reaching Balboa Park station. In 1998, a new segment along The Embarcadero connected to the Caltrain terminal at 4th and King Street. The T Third Street line commenced operations in 2007, serving southeastern neighborhoods. The Central Subway project, which introduced three new underground stations and one surface-level station, began service on November 19, 2022.
The entire system includes 115 stations, with 67 (58%) designed to be accessible. All twelve underground stations and 25 surface stations have elevated platforms approximately high to allow level boarding at every door. The other 78 stops feature diverse platform configurations: some have low-level platforms on dedicated rights-of-way, others have low-level boarding islands or sidewalk bulbs, while some lack platforms entirely—requiring passengers to cross traffic lanes or parking areas. Of these, 30 stations incorporate "mini-high" platforms enabling accessible boarding at a single door, and one station utilizes a wheelchair lift.

Former stations
Prior to the late 1970s, streetcar lines operating on surface streets featured a greater number of stops, many identified solely by simple poles. The transition to Muni Metro, involving longer trains and increased operating speeds, resulted in the closure of numerous stops. Following the inauguration of the Market Street subway, the number of Market Street stops was significantly reduced; most of these are currently served by the F Market & Wharves heritage streetcar. During the system’s conversion, four stations with substantial infrastructure were permanently closed:
