The Dubs have a playoff game, and the A's face the Giants in SF. Seems like a perfect recipe for carmageddon.
Ahead of the expected traffic mess, the San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency released an advisory encouraging people to take public transit, and said it's increasing service to meet demand.
Muni will operate supplemental 78X Arena Express to service the Warriors game. Pre-event express shuttle service from 16th Street BART Station to 16th and 3rd streets will start 2.5 hours before gametime and will end one hour afterwards. Post-event express shuttle service from 16th and 3rd streets to 16th Street BART Station will operate until the area clears.
BART is adding some extra trains to support more riders. "These event trains will be brought in when the games end," Alicia Trost, chief communications officer for BART, said. Game 5 of the Warriors' series against the Denver Nuggets begins at 7 p.m. and doors open at 5:30 p.m. The Giants and the A's play at 6:45 p.m.
It's not only Wednesday when sporting events are likely to create extra traffic. The Giants have three upcoming home games against the Washington Nationals: Friday, April 29 at 7:15 p.m.; Saturday, April 30 at 1:05 p.m.; and Sunday, May 1 at 1:05 p.m. There's a possibility the Warriors could overlap with the Giants and play again in SF on Sunday, depending on how a variety of postseason scenarios shake out.
