How to ride a Bay Wheels bike
- Get the Lyft Bike app with the buttons above, or use the Lyft app (Bay Wheels is now called Lyft Bike), and add a card.
- At a station, tap Unlock in the app and scan the code on the bike. The app shows the price before you ride.
- End the ride by locking the bike into any open dock, then check the app says the ride ended.
Paying for Muni
- Easiest: tap a contactless bank card, or the card in your phone wallet, on the reader when you board. Use the same card each time.
- Clipper: add a Clipper card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and tap your phone.
- Day passes and visitor passes: in the MuniMobile app.
- Cash: exact change only, on the bus or train.
Fares change; see sfmta.com/fares for today's prices.
Tips for getting around
- The J Church on Dolores St goes downtown along Market St, underground from Church St.
- For the airport, take BART from 16th St Mission straight to SFO.
- San Francisco is hilly. An e-bike makes the climbs easy, and Dolores Park is a short walk.
- Wait for the light at crossings; Muni trains share the street on Church St.
- If you drive, leave nothing visible in a parked car.
