Brannan and The Embarcadero station (commonly referred to as Brannan) is a Muni Metro light rail stop situated within the median of The Embarcadero, just south of Brannan Street in San Francisco’s South Beach neighborhood. This station features a high-level island platform for Muni Metro trains, while historic streetcars utilize two side platforms located at the southern end of the station.

History

The station commenced operations on January 10, 1998, as a component of the Muni Metro Extension project. Initially, it facilitated a temporary E Embarcadero shuttle running between Embarcadero station and the 4th and King/Caltrain station. On August 22, 1998, the shuttle was replaced by the N Judah line. The T Third Street service was introduced on April 7, 2007; at that time, N Judah service was truncated to Embarcadero station, and J Church service was added during peak periods. By June 30, 2007, J and N lines resumed their former routes. The heritage streetcar route E Embarcadero began operation on August 1, 2015.

On January 7, 2023, T Third Street trains were redirected through the Central Subway.

During early morning and late night hours when rail service is unavailable, the station is also serviced by and bus routes.
