Hi Mooviters,
Muni has released the following advisory for upcoming event-related traffic and transit changes.
Friday, March 22: The Warriors will play against the Indiana Pacers at the Chase Center. Game will start at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.
Supplemental Muni Service
- Muni will operate supplemental 78X Arena Express service.

During basketball games and other major events with more than 10,000 expected attendees at the arena, parking meters close to the arena will charge a special event rate of $10 per hour. These rates help reduce congestion and keep parking spots available in the neighborhoods near the arena, discouraging circling for free or cheap parking.

- 16th Street between 3rd Street and Terry Francois Boulevard

During baseball games and other major events with more than 10,000 expected attendees at the ballpark, parking meters close to the ballpark will charge a special event rate of $10 per hour.

Start times for special event rates vary based on the start time of the event.
