🇺🇸 Public transport in the United States

Download the city once and the static map data (stops, routes and directions) works even without internet. Set up alerts for your daily routes and save your favorite stops.

Frequently asked questions

Does Leidaro cover all of Muni?

Yes. Leidaro uses the same public GTFS feed that the SFMTA publishes, so it covers all 68 Muni lines — the buses and trolleybuses, the six Muni Metro light-rail lines, the F streetcar and the three cable cars.

Does Leidaro include BART or Caltrain?

Not currently. The San Francisco feed Leidaro downloads is the SFMTA's Muni feed. BART, Caltrain, AC Transit and the Bay Area ferries are run by other operators and published as separate feeds.

Can I use Leidaro offline?

Absolutely. Download San Francisco once and all routes, stops and timetables work without a connection.

Is Leidaro a freemium app?

Yes, the core features are included in the freemium plan, with no ads and no account needed.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet — Leidaro is an Android app (Android 7.0+). If an iOS version happens, you'll hear about it here first.

How accurate are the live times?

Vehicle positions and countdowns come straight from the SFMTA's real-time feed, so you see where the buses actually are — usually only a few seconds behind reality.

Is this the official app of the SFMTA?

No. Leidaro is an independent app built by Minrax. It is not affiliated with the SFMTA, the City and County of San Francisco or any other transit agency — it uses the public GTFS data the SFMTA publishes.

How do I pay for Muni?

With a Clipper card, the MuniMobile app, or a contactless bank card tapped on the reader; cash on board still works on buses, and riders 18 and under ride free (cable cars excepted). Leidaro itself needs no account or ticket.

How San Francisco's transit works

Muni is the SFMTA's network: 58 bus and trolleybus routes, six Muni Metro light-rail lines (J, K, L, M, N and T) plus the F Market and Wharves historic streetcar, and the three cable car lines — California Street, Powell-Hyde and Powell-Mason — 68 lines and about 3,240 stops.

Most trips run along the Market Street spine and into the downtown subway, where the Muni Metro lines dive under ground. The 38R Geary, 14R Mission and N Judah carry some of the heaviest loads in the city.

With Leidaro you see this entire network live — every bus, train and cable car on one map.

The GTFS data comes from SFMTA and is published through 511 SF Bay, the Bay Area open-data portal.

Your bus up Geary isn't waiting for you.
