History
This station commenced operations on January 10, 1998, as a component of the Muni Metro Extension project. Initially, it functioned as the terminus for a provisional E Embarcadero shuttle running between Embarcadero station and the 4th and King/Caltrain station. On August 22 of the same year, the shuttle service was replaced by the N Judah line. The T Third Street route began serving this location on April 7, 2007; at that time, N Judah service was truncated to Embarcadero station, with the J Church line added during peak periods. By June 30, 2007, both J Church and N Judah routes resumed their original service patterns. The heritage streetcar line E Embarcadero commenced stops at this station on August 1, 2015.
Additionally, this station is accessible via bus routes and , which provide service along the T Third Street corridor during early morning and late-night hours when rail operations are not active.
