I use this MUNI station. It is close to our house (although I live and work in New York City, my wife in San Francisco). It is highly convenient, with multiple lines running to it. A few notes.
First, the station goes by two names. It is both Forest Hills and Laguna Honda, officially. My wife and I had a minor argument when we bought our place. We each knew one of the names. So we were unsure what neighborhood exactly we were moving to. One of us saw a map, and that explained things. (It's also a good moral about marriage and life: some disagreements are false dichotomies. There is nothing to squabble about, once you have the facts.)
Second, they say this is the oldest mass transit station west of the Rockies and the deepest underground. I have not verified those claims. I'm just repeating them. But you should be aware if you are in a rush and not familiar, there are many many many steps to get from the entry hall to the platform. There is an elevator, and people -- I'm chastising myself here, not others -- ought to walk it sometimes ride instead.
Third, the station is worth looking at if you like architecture. It is a lovely building. I'd rate it as the best looking MUNI stop in the system. (The Glen Park BART is another masterpiece, but in a sister system.)
If you are a tourist or moving to the city, please consider using MUNI (and BART) rather than driving or calling a ride share. These are so much better for society as a whole -- not to mention cheaper for you as a consumer. Thanks for reading! read more
