The station was built with both a high-level island platform for Muni Metro trains, and a pair of low-level side platforms at the south end of the station next to the Harrison Street grade crossing for historic streetcars, which are not in use as of 2026[update].
History
The station opened on January 10, 1998, as part of the Muni Metro Extension project.[1][2] It was initially served by a temporary E Embarcadero line between Embarcadero station and 4th and King/Caltrain station. N Judah service replaced the shuttle service on August 22, 1998.[1] T Third Street service began on April 7, 2007; N Judah service was initially cut back to Embarcadero station, with J Church service added at peak hours.[3][4] On June 30, 2007, the J and N were restored to their previous configuration.[5] E Embarcadero heritage streetcar service was added on August 1, 2015,[6] but ended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
The station is served by the N Bus and N Owl bus routes, which provide service along the N Judah line during the early morning and late night hours respectively when trains do not operate.[8]
