Salesforce Transit Center is open again! Kind of…

6am to 9pm

Salesforce Transit Center, 425 Mission St. (SoMa), salesforcetransitcenter.com

Thanks to some structural issues, the much-hyped Salesforce Transit Center closed for six months following its inagural opening. Now it's open again to the public, but sans sans transit. The buses will be coming back later this summer, but for now you can access the rooftop garden for midweek lunch picnics. Daily events programming will also return. // View daily events on salesforcetransitcenter.com.
