How To Ride Presidio Go Shuttle
You wait for the bus at dedicated stops. Be sure to look out for signage on the side of the street where you get picked up at. The most confusing pick-up is on Van Ness street (center island), not the street. Give yourself time as most people don’t take the shuttle and will be useless in helping you out.

Is Presidio Go Shuttle Free? Is It Open To The Public?
The Presidio Go Shuttle is free and it’s open to the public with the exception of certain times (commute hours) in the morning and afternoon (see schedule) for the downtown Route (marked in green with astericks).
That said, only certain stops are for pick up or drop-off. The Presidio Go is designed for people to leave or enter the Presidio i.e. you can’t get dropped off on Van Ness if going toward the park and you can’t get picke up on Van Ness if heading downtown.

Best Views, Hikes From Presidio Go Shuttle Stops?
Some stops are only for one direction so note which ones you need to get off on or ask your driver.
Inspiration Point: accessible view, from there can hike down to Inn at the Presidio and then walk over to Main Lawn and continue to Tunnel Tops. Could also hike to top of Andy Goldsworth Woodline or to top of Lyon Street Steps for views.
Visitor Center: Short walk to Tunnel Tops, from there can walk along Crissy Field to Fort Point or you can exit early and walk up to Golden Gate Bridge Vista Point South. There is also the Walt Disney Center across the Main Lawn. Behind the Golf Course is Andy Goldsworthy Spire sculpture.
Coastal Trail or Rob Hill Campground: Immigrant Point Overlook and then walk to Batteries to Bluff Trail which can take you all the way to Golden Gate Bridge. I would use Google Map Street view as the hike can be shorter than the route posted through walking directions.
Baker Beach: Baker Beach is here.
25th Avenue: People usually will walk several blocks and then start the Land’s End hike (can be 1-1.6 miles each way depending on how far you hike, 1.6 miles to labyrinth).
Tides Coverage/Letterman Building: Yoda Fountain, Skywalker Ranch General Store, views of the Palace of Fine Arts from across the street, or you can walk there and make your way to the Wave Organ or Dynamo Donut stand. You can also go the opposite direction and walk up to Andy Goldsworthy Woodline.
Lombard Gate: can walk up the Lyon Street steps (great views from Pacific Heights) or you can go up to the Woodline, cross the street and take Lyon Street Stairs down.
Davis/California:
California Street Cable Cars
Walk the Embarcadero, go toward Ferry Building, Bay Bridge or opposite direction to Pier 39/Fishermans Wharf along the water.
