By Public Transit
MUNI (http://www.sfmta.com/cms/...) operates the 71-Haight-Noriega bus route plus the 6-Parnassus east of Masonic running the length of Haight Street, connecting the area to Downtown. Nearby streets parallel to Haight also serve the area, for example the #5 on Fulton and #21 Hayes north of the Haight district. Additionally, a few lines run north-south through the district: 22-Fillmore, 24-Divisadero, 33-Stanyan and 43-Masonic.
The N-Judah Muni Metro line partially underground also runs parallel to Haight Street several blocks to the south. An easy way to access the western portion of the Haight district near Cole Valley from downtown is to take the N-Judah outbound to Cole Stret, then go right. It runs under the hill. The N-Judah continues westward, stopping at University of California, San Francisco before heading into the Sunset neighborhood.
By car
Fell and Oak Streets, parallel one-way streets running east-west across the northern edge of the district, offer a relatively easy way to get into the district via car from Downtown to the east. A few major north-south streets which pass through Haight are Fillmore Street, Divisadero Street which merges into Castro Street to the south and Masonic Avenue. Parking in the area can be very limited, however.
