San Jose and Mount Vernon station served as a light rail stop on the Muni Metro M Ocean View route, situated within San Francisco's Ingleside district. The station comprised two side platforms, configured as traffic islands positioned in the median of San Jose Avenue. Notably, the inbound platform was constructed atop a bridge spanning Interstate 280. These platforms lacked accessible features.

The station commenced operations on August 30, 1980, coinciding with the line's extension to Balboa Park station. In 2022, the SFMTA launched the M Ocean View Transit and Safety Project, targeting enhanced service dependability between Junipero Serra Boulevard and Balboa Park station. Initial plans included lengthening the Mount Vernon platforms; however, an updated proposal released in May 2023 recommended discontinuing this stop. Consequently, the station was officially decommissioned on September 28, 2024, together with the Ocean and Westgate / Ocean and Cerritos stations on the K Ingleside.
