History
This station commenced operations on January 10, 1998, as a segment of the Muni Metro Extension project. Initially, it accommodated a temporary E Embarcadero shuttle running between Embarcadero station and the 4th and King/Caltrain station. On August 22, 1998, this shuttle service was substituted by the N Judah line. The station later began to be served by the T Third Street route starting April 7, 2007; concurrently, N Judah service was shortened to terminate at Embarcadero station, with the J Church line added during peak travel times. However, on June 30, 2007, both J and N lines resumed their original routing. Additionally, the E Embarcadero heritage streetcar route started operations at this location on August 1, 2015.
During early morning and late-night periods when train services are inactive, the station is also accessible via the and bus routes.
